WikiDB implements a wiki-style database within your wiki. You can define tables, enter data and run queries using wiki markup, and all of these things are independent of each other.
Three things to bear in mind before going any further:
- This is in the early stages of development. Core functionality is in place, but many planned features are currently lacking.
- The syntax is currently fairly long-winded for certain tasks. This will be streamlined (suggestions welcome) but it is sufficient for proof-of-concept.
- There has been very little optimisation, and there is a lot of potential for it. I welcome advice on this matter, but do not be put off by speed/efficiency of the current version.
