Demo \| Version: 1.0.2 \| Osax id: 376 Author: Custom Flow Solutions \| Developer's Web Site Category: Data-Manipulation
ScriptDB is a scripting addition that extends the capabilities of AppleScript and AppleScript Studio with a simple and powerful set of database commands. ScriptDB allows you to take data stored in AppleScript lists or text-files and convert it into a ScriptDB class database. Once the data conforms to the ScriptDB class format, you can perform database operations on your data using in AppleScript, right inside your scripts. Best of all, the property containing the actual data is a simple list of lists so that you always have complete access to it.
Version Changes: 1.0.2: Intel-compatible version.

I had been looking for a good, easy to use yet reasonably powerful database OSAX for a while and had tried various solutions such as calling SQLite via 'Do Shell Script' and the SQLiteAddOns. The former was flawed by bugs in the version of SQLite that natively ships with OS 10.4 and the latter was good but very expensive, especially as a hobbyist developer who would need a developer's license in the hope of earning a few dollars back. ScriptDB is a great compromise. It includes basic database functionality such as filtering, sorting and searching yet it is affordable and even incorporates FileMaker Pro-friendly file formats in the Pro version. I would like to see some database-style grouping in an ideal world so that totals can be calculated more easily but other than that I have no complaints at all. I would highly recommended ScriptDB to anyone who needs simple, on-the-fly database functionality in their scripts.
