Re: [ANNOUNCE] LEAP RDBMS v1.2.5.2

This looks interesting if you want to study the implementation. But it seems to be of little practical use right now, e.g. the documentation states that it only supports the string data type.

Also, the Windows binary install requires cygwin (the file cygwinb19.dll is included).

Hopefully helpfully yours,
Steve
