string fileExtension pldb being ignored in database/things/ directory during build
The build system seem to try to build even non pldb files in database/things/ while database/grammar/root.grammar Line 8 specifies
string fileExtension pldb
Warning about unnecessary files in database/things/ is acceptable , but building all files seem to defeat the purpose of the grammar file entry.
Great point @SRS-WRKS ! You're right it's confusing that we have that line and then ignore it during build.
@breck7 :
Right now jtree supports a single database only (in a single database/ directory subtree) am i right ?
This could be a central feature to support multiple tables . Imagining multiple sortTable.txt files and multiple *db.json files being generated would be an awesome addition.

Yes.

I agree. Do you think it should be done using file extension? One extension per table?
@breck7 , thanks for the reply that too on a weekend. It means soo much :)
It depends on how you want to support other products and architecture along the same lines.
Supporting Berkeley DB (a flat file structure) would mean supporting things as diverse as openLDAP/Active directory as import/export options. Support for SQL export already exists, if i am not mistaken.
But command line tools like CAT can support merging files quiet easily too. So there are tradeoffs, @celtic-coder mentioned supporting pldb on windows and filed bug reports about the same.
You also said before that you don't like docker, because you prefer bare metal :)
If you decide to support flat file structures, you can think of parsers as supporting both compilers ( pldb )and file processing commands like AWK/perl (???) .
No one has a golden rule, that supporting file parsers has to be limited to compilers :)
I am a wannabe code grunt (your github description is misleading :) ), you decide the architecture because i don't know The Public Domain Publishing Company well enough.
Good day.
I am going to close this now as I will probably fix as part of https://github.com/breck7/pldb/issues/59
