  • GOAL: SAGE Enhancement Proposal.
    • Unified Database class
      • init establishes connection to sqlite
      • create, remove and modify tables
      • copy method
      • print?, save and show?
      • recursive queries without actually calling sqlite every time
  • Issues to brainstorm:
    • Brainless database creation.
    • SAGE [http://www.initd.org/pub/software/pysqlite/doc/usage-guide.html interface] to sqlite [:sqlite-tutorial: creating your own database using sqlite in sage]

    • Uniform database approach within sage
    • Databases distributed with sage
    • Online databases
      • cgi web-accessible...
      • accessible from SAGE, perhaps hosted at sage.math...
      • SQLite servers?
    • Automagic caching: keep track of computation results
      • keeping those results in portable objects, making these objects merge-able, etc...
    • Licensing: \exists DBGPL?

    • Noticing identical database entries
    • Standard databases included with sage should be immutable
