Tarantool is an efficient NoSQL database and a Lua application server. Key features of the Lua application server: * 100% compatible drop-in replacement for Lua 5.1, based on LuaJIT 2.0. Simply use #!/usr/bin/tarantool instead of #!/usr/bin/lua in your script. * full support for Lua modules and a rich set of own modules, including cooperative multitasking, non-blocking I/O, access to external databases, etc. Key features of the database: * MsgPack data format and MsgPack based client-server protocol * two data engines: 100% in-memory with optional persistence and a 2-level disk-based B-tree, to use with large data sets * multiple index types: HASH, TREE, BITSET * asynchronous master-master replication * authentication and access control * the database is just a C extension to the app server and can be turned off

BIBVIEW (graphical interface for BibTeX program) by Holger Martin, Peter Urban, Armin Liebl liebla@informatik.tu-muenchen.de The program "bibview" is a graphical interface for manipulating BibTeX databases. It supports the user in making new entries, searching for entries and moving entries from one BiB to another. It is possible to work with more than one BiB simultaneously. bibview is implemented with Xt and Athena Widgets. There are six types of windows in bibview: The main window contains menus for customizing bibview and for working with BiBs on the file level. The bibliography window (one for every open BiB) contains commands for manipulating the BiB. The list window (at most one for every open BiB) shows a list of entries. It displays the fields author, title, type and year. The card window (at most one for every entry) helps editing an entry. It contains boxes for each field of the entry (according to the type). The fields can be edited by putting the mouse cursor into the field. Macros in fields and the symbol for concatenation ('#') are marked with a preceding '@'.

Kyoto Tycoon is a lightweight database server with auto expiration mechanism, which is useful to handle cache data and persistent data of various applications. Kyoto Tycoon is also a package of network interface to the DBM called Kyoto Cabinet. Though the DBM has high performance and high concurrency, you might bother in case that multiple processes share the same database, or remote processes access the database. Thus, Kyoto Tycoon is provided for concurrent and remote connections to Kyoto Cabinet. Kyoto Tycoon is composed of the server process managing multiple databases and its access library for client applications. The network protocol between the server and clients is HTTP so that you can write client applications and client libraries in almost all popular languages. Both of RESTful-style interface by the GET, HEAD, PUT, DELETE methods and RPC-style inteface by the POST method are supported. The server can handle more than 10 thousand connections at the same time because it uses modern I/O event notification facilities such as "epoll" and "kqueue" of underlying systems. The server supports high availability mechanisms, which are hot backup, update logging, and asynchronous replication. The server can embed Lua, a lightweight script language so that you can define arbitrary operations of the database.

The DBD::AnyData module provides a DBI/SQL interface to data in many formats and from many sources. Regardless of the format or source of the data, it may be accessed and/or modified using all standard DBI methods and a subset of SQL syntax. In addition to standard database access to files, the module also supports in-memory tables which allow you to create temporary views; to combine data from a number of sources; to quickly prototype database systems; and to display or save the data in any of the supported formats (e.g. to display data in a CSV file as an HTML table). These in-memory tables can be created from any combination of DBI databases or files of any format. They may also be created from perl data structures which means it's possible to quickly prototype a database system without any file access or rdbms backend. The module also supports converting files between any of the supported formats (e.g. save selected data from MySQL or Oracle to an XML file).

DBIx::Admin::DSNManager manages a file of DSNs, for both testing and production. The INI-style format was selected, rather than, say, using an SQLite database, so that casual users could edit the file without needing to know SQL and without having to install the command line program sqlite3. Each DSN is normally for something requiring manual preparation, such as creating the database named in the DSN. In the case of SQLite, etc, where manual intervention is not required, you can still put the DSN in dsn.ini. One major use of this module is to avoid environment variable overload, since it is common to test Perl modules by setting the env vars $DBI_DSN, $DBI_USER and $DBI_PASS. But then the problem becomes: What do you do when you want to run tests against a set of databases servers? Some modules define sets of env vars, one set per database server, with awkward and hard-to-guess names. This is messy and obscure. DBIx::Admin::DSNManager is a solution to this problem.

This add-on module allows the apache web server to use a MySQL database for user and/or group authentication. For large user lists this can offer a significate speed up over apache's standard flat file format. There is a different version of mod_auth_mysql in the ports tree with different configuration. Unfortunatly this version has a bug if used on a system which has more than one authentification databases. You may have to look which version fits your requirements.

Dixit is a cross-platform application for consulting off-line a Romanian definitions dictionary (DEX). It features a browser-like interface, with cross-references between definitions, and the capability of adding new definitions from a server. The distributed database is currently based on 14 dictionaries plus 5 DEX editions. The database contains more that 235.000 definitions from various sources. The most important "Dictionarul explicativ al limbii romane" (DEX 1998) All 65.542 definitions from DEX have been introduced in the database by "DEX online" Project (dexonline.ro) volunteers. The following dictionaries are also complete, with help from Siveco and Editura Litera International: "Dictionar de sinonime" (2002), "Dictionar de antonime" (2002), "Dictionar ortografic al limbii romane" (2002), "Noul dictionar explicativ al limbii romane" (2002). Any resemblance to dict is not entirely coincidental, but the database doesn't have the same format :(

Version 3 of the FASTA packages contains many programs for searching DNA and protein databases and one program (prss3) for evaluating statistical significance from randomly shuffled sequences. Several additional analysis programs, including programs that produce local alignments, are available as part of version 2 of the FASTA package, which is available as the port biology/fasta. FASTA is described in: W. R. Pearson and D. J. Lipman (1988), "Improved Tools for Biological Sequence Analysis", PNAS 85:2444-2448; W. R. Pearson (1996) "Effective protein sequence comparison" Meth. Enzymol. 266:227-258; Pearson et. al. (1997) Genomics 46:24-36; Pearson, (1999) Meth. in Molecular Biology 132:185-219. The FASTA3 suite is distributed freely subject to the condition that it may not be sold or incorporated into a commercial product.
