In all honesty, keeping the ROM size small is the challenge.

I did a fair amount of testing with arduino-based SD-card storage, but as long as you had some sort of way to store bytes to your preferred medium, that shouldn't be too hard to hack yourself. Check out https://github.com&#x

I took a computer science course at the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus called COSC404 under Professor Ramon Lawrence (who is/was also my research supervisor at UBC), which was on database implementation. It was h

LittleD can be run using as little as 1KB of RAM for simple queries involving selections (WHERE clauses), projections (not just SELECT *) and joins. For queries with more than a couple joins, 2KB of RAM should still suffice.

In our lab, we have used both SD-cards and flash chips built in to devices to make storage a possibility. When you need or want to do anything complicated, such as a projection or a join, IImplementedItDB tends to become a headache.

I absolutely need to improve that side of it, there is no doubt. Thank you for the feedback!

Author here. Any time you want to store historical data, and query that data later. Very similar to how you might imagine using a database for a website, just at a smaller scale. The project that inspired this work was a water metering proj

Wow, thank you for the feedback. I take a lot of pride in making the code readable. Maintaining a large C project by oneself for notorably fickle devices has been challenging, so you need to get all the of help you can.

I am the author of LittleD. I am more than happy to answer any questions. It has mostly been an academic project while I was doing during my undergrad, but I am now looking at continuing the project as part of a Ph.D. Of course, I would lov

I recently used Postgres for a serious project for the first time and I am really impressed. Certainly much more impressed with it than MySQL or SQL Server. plpgsql is far better than what MySQL offers out of the box, plus you have access t

Not considered here: parallel Monte Carlo methods. Monte Carlo methods tend to play Game of the Amazons well, and I think they lend themselves better to parallel search than methods such as Alpha-Beta and related/improved algorithms li

The problem seems to be largely linked to the warm water underneath the cool water at the grounding line. This water's movement seems to be affected by intensifying winds (see OP's link). [1] below gives a little more context and

Definitely true to a certain degree. But I also think that having the experience of being forced into new friendships in first year gives people more confidence to meet people later. Its a snowball effect of sorts.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this assumes that processor speed will not increase dramatically over the lock period, no? Seems to me that if one was to be storing information over an extended period of time, say 20 years, as time goes on, i
