Re: EyeDB - GDL2 or separate framework

[David Chisnall]

I had a quick look at EyeDB, and it appears to be an OODBMS, unlike  
GDL which is an ORM, and so the two would not mesh well together.  You  
might consider integrating it in to CoreObject, which is an OODBMS.   
The GPL means we would not accept the patches, but it could be  
maintained as a separate framework / bundle.
