Hi Blake,
we have 2⎕TF to convert APL functions and APL variables to text vectors ("bytes") and back. So all that is needed for a native APL SQL database given a generic SQL database is to declare the objects properly (BLOB) and to call 2⎕TF before writing to, or after reading from, the database. This could be done "under the hood" by using a new function number doing that, but it seems so simple that I wonder if it is worth the effort. There are many combinations of functions in APL that look like deserving their own name (or symbol, or function number), but I tend to prefer fewer functions in total because there is also a downside (remembering them, portability, maintenance to name a few). I guess a few examples would be beneficial. /// Jürgen On 04/11/2014 08:03 PM, Blake McBride wrote:
