DEVISER - is research project in progress, open-source system that can evaluate programs of language of logic programming of databases, Datalog. DEVISER involves the ideas of logic programming, database theory and functional programming. DEVISER is written on Bigloo and is loosely-coupled with SQLite DBMS.

• May 24 2004: DEVISER 1.2.0 is available: dtlog-1.2.0.tar.gz .
  • Language enhancements:
    • it is now possible to evaluate logical and arithmetical predicates with integer numbers
    • someone can assign variables
    • it is possible to perform aggregation opetation on sets of facts
  • It is now possible to use Scheme expressions at dtlog library
  • SQLite database now is capable to store IDB too
  • Better datalog program analysis and error messages
  • Many bug fixes
  • QSQ method is not correct on queries with new language features (if there is idb predicates in atoms at aggregate predicate, recursive call isn't perform)
• Mar 23 2004: DEVISER 1.1.0 is available.
  • Added simple Scheme API to the DEVISER. API is implemented as a Bigloo library
