Hello.
I've managed to pull together, in my scarce free time, an OCaml binding for MonetDB. It is now working and I have written a very simple MAL client for an embedded database:
yziquel@seldon:~/git/ocaml-monetdb5$ utils/malclient.native io.print(1); 1 io.print(2); 2
I've got a small question concerning MAL. As I see it, MAL is currently a human-readable language. Is there somewhere in the MonetDB system a place where it is compiled to a more space-efficient representation? Or is interpreted as such?
mal_parser.mx turns it into an internal format. it is certainly not more space conservative compared to the input.
All the best,
