Muldis::D --------------------------------------------------------------------------- by Darren Duncan PREFACE This distribution features the pure documentation file named Muldis::D (Formal spec of Muldis D relational DBMS lang) and its support structure. Read below for how to get support or keep up to date. DOCUMENTATION READING ORDER If you want to read all the Muldis D documentation that exists now in this distribution, I recommend doing so in this order: 1. README 2. (opt) Changes 3. lib/Muldis/D.pm 4. lib/Muldis/D/Basics.pod 5. lib/Muldis/D/Core.pod a. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Types.pod b. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Types_Catalog.pod c. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Routines.pod d. lib/Muldis/D/Core/Routines_Catalog.pod 6. lib/Muldis/D/Dialect/PTMD_Tiny.pod 7. lib/Muldis/D/Dialect/HDMD_Perl6_Tiny.pod 8. lib/Muldis/D/Dialect/HDMD_Perl5_Tiny.pod 9. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Conventions.pod 10. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Ordered.pod 11. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Integer.pod 12. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Blob.pod 13. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Text.pod 14. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Rational.pod 15. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/QTuple.pod 16. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/QRelation.pod 17. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/QSet.pod 18. lib/Muldis/D/Ext/QArray.pod 19. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/QBag.pod 20. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Temporal.pod 21. (opt) lib/Muldis/D/Ext/Spatial.pod 22. lib/Muldis/D/SeeAlso.pod 23. (opt) TODO Then you can carry on with anything else. You may prefer the nicely HTML-formatted versions of the above, which are available at "http://search.cpan.org/dist/Muldis-D/". KEEPING UP TO DATE My module set is constantly under development. The canonical copies are all linked to through my personal website, "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/", on the page called "Perl Libraries I Made" (name subject to change). Some of these modules are also linked to through my business website, "http://www.muldis.com/", on its front page. For those of you that are interested in the bleeding edge of development, I have all parts of the Muldis D project in one or more public repositories. The Muldis D project is in a Git repository whose Git read-access url is "git://utsl.gen.nz/Muldis-D" and whose Gitweb information url is at "http://utsl.gen.nz/gitweb/?p=Muldis-D". In the near future I will also be using a GitHub public repository, under "http://github.com/muldis/", to host this project. You can download slightly older versions of all of my modules from the public CPAN archives at "http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCAND/", or on my own web server at "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/d/perl/". CPAN also extracts the POD from modules and maintains that documentation in an organized and searchable fashion. Their main search site is at "http://search.cpan.org", and my own DUNCAND author page is at "http://search.cpan.org/search?author=DUNCAND". The main CPAN search site url for Muldis D is "http://search.cpan.org/dist/Muldis-D/"; that is the url you should link to presently if you want something to consider the "home page" of Muldis D; it is best to refer people there by default. You can download my oldest tarred and gzipped distributions from BACKPAN, at "http://history.perl.org/backpan/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCAND/", or from my web server, at "http://www.DarrenDuncan.net/d/perl/archives/", right back to the libdwg 1.0, first released on 2000 July 23. SUPPORT Several public email-based forums exist whose main topic is all implementations of the Muldis D language, especially the Muldis Rosetta reference implementation, but also the Set::Relation module. They exist so that Muldis D / Muldis Rosetta users can help each other, or that help coming from Muldis D / Muldis Rosetta developers can be said once to many people, rather than to each individually. All of these you can reach via "http://mm.DarrenDuncan.net/mailman/listinfo". Alternately, you can purchase more advanced commercial support for various Muldis D implementations, particularly Muldis Rosetta, from its author by way of Muldis Data Systems; see "http://www.muldis.com/" for details. FIN Share and Enjoy!
