Hi, Actually, I've wondered about using a custom-rolled binary or text-based database, vs. something that uses the OpenEDA standard, vs a 'real' database like sql. I guess my impression is that something like SQL is not designed for something as multi-... uh, dimensional? as an EE design. Perhaps it would be good for just storing the data, but can it also store relationships or other meta-things besides the raw literalness of a design? I'd imagine it can store arbitrary binary data, but then what's the advantage over a custom binary file? If the application provides a nice API for geting into its custom binary file, then what's the problem?
