... is a tool for storing a three level deep hierarchical key store in flat text files while being able to edit the data with a spreadsheet.
... is a tool for storing a three level deep hierarchical key store in flat text files while being able to edit the data with a spreadsheet. The flat files generated by refdb are quite resistant to conflicts on branch and merge.
<h4>Motive</h4>
Storing configuration data, test control data and so forth can be very convenient in a spreadsheet but spreadsheets cannot be easily modified in parallel and branched and merged in tools like fossil or git.
<h4>[Usage]</h4>
<h4>[Accessing the data]</h4>
<h4>Installation</h4>
# Install chicken scheme from: www.call-cc.org
# Install the refdb egg: chicken-install refdb
<h4>[Data format]</h4>
Files with extension .dat contain the data for each sheet.
<verbatim>
[column header]
rowlabel value
</verbatim>
<h4>Run refdb for quick help</h4>

<verbatim>
> refdb
