I e-mailed Falcucci Fabio aka Allanon to ask him about his database engine for AROS named SDB or Simple Database. I think it is great that he has started this project and I'm sure it will be useful to many people. He has used the Lua programming language available on AROS to create the engine. He explains the reasons why he chose Lua in the introduction section of the SDB web site. I received the following reply from Allanon, and he has provided two screenshots of the gui. One is the SDB Preferences Editor and the other is the SDB Control Center. If you want to know much more about SDB, here is the official web site and here is Allanon's blog. Enjoy!

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your interest in my project and for keeping up "The AROS Show", it's a great source of news :)

About SDB
The project is active, but recently my work is eating all my free time and my beta release, planned for December, will be moved to the end of January. I'm writing some tutorials that I use as a final test too. The first part is done and is composed of 6 tutorials that show the SDB basics. The second part will show how to handle "Selections" (the SDB record subsets) and will explain how to filter, sort and export data. After that I will release the first beta.
Relations (Link System) isn't yet implemented but will be soon (after the release), I wanna complete it, but keep solid the engine core first.

For some time I've worked on a gui (with the Zune binding for Lua, thanks to Matthias Rustler):
Ive started a nice preferences editor and a control panel to handle databases, records and selections.
Recently I've suspended the gui coding to finish the engine.

The last added/fixed features are:
- a nice and configurable read buffer to speed up disk access
- record delete/restore
- record undo/redo feature
- database defragmentation
- selection sort, view and export (at the moment can export the selection in a new sdb database, but soon I'll add more formats)

cya,
Fabio
