Iniatly I was excited by Red’s expressiveness, ease of use and cross platform capability, but was very disappointed to find it lacks a driver for PostgreSQL.
This for me is critical and surprising omission, especially considering that the main developer of Red - Nenad Rakocevic - wrote a Postgres driver for Rebol??
- 9214 9y agoLack of drivers and such is due to the fact that full I/O support is not yet implemented, but planned. See: https://trello.com/c/Iz0cl1e8/61-070-full-i-o-support https://trello.com/c/Iz0cl1e8/61-070-full-i-o-support
- fergus44 9y agoRed is alpha! Like you said, the author has written SQL drivers, and has already promised them for red. Priorities!
- onetom 9y agoIn the past, when I was writing web scrapers and I wanted to put the results into a database, I was just using the command-line interface for the database via the Rebol `CALL` function. It was a couple of lines to create a `SELECT` and `INSERT` function to abstract this detail away... If you are really curious about Red, you should give this approach a try and in case it's not performant enough for you, then you can put this option on hold until Red has proper I/O support.
