New Open Source Library From PalmSource Now Available
At the recent LinuxWorld Conference and Expo held in San Francisco last August 13th, officials of PalmSource Inc. have announced that they will be releasing a brand new software library known as “libsqlfs” under a Lesser General Public License or LGPL.
Originally built for the ACCESS Linux Platform, libsqlfs will be an add-on to the popular SQLite package, a space-saving database management system which stores an entire database as a single standard file on the host machine, instead of having lots of smaller separate files.
The libsqlfs software, with its nearly-impossible to pronounce name, was designed “to provide a more flexible and convenient way to implement an Open Mobile Alliance-Device Management (OMA-DM) compliant registry.”
The libsqlfs library, developed by PalmSource, also provides an easy way for applications to put an entire read/write file system into a database as a single file in the host file system. This means that such a file system can easily be moved around, backed up or restored as a single file. In addition, the file system in a single database file can be more space efficient than many small individual files.
The libsqlfs software library is now available for download.
