About

The Xegment Delta Databasing (XDD) system is a ongoing project to development and maintain a working PHP engine for storing data within flatfile (Text File) databases.

The usual routine for storing data has been through MySQL or SQLite. And even though the documentation for both of those platforms is plenty. For a new user, or one wishing more control over databases, they can be difficult.

Many users have found that stable MySQL supportive hosting providers are few and far between, and noted that MySQL can take much higher resources than standard FlatFile databasing.

Personally, as a rather new developer of PHP scripting, I found learning MySQL and SQLite syntax was difficult to say the least. So in a effort to design a stable system for myself, I found that this XDD system could hopefully benefit others.

Since XDD's release, several users have found this system to be easy to learn, and more-and-more stable. Some have inquired wether this system could be integrated into a stand-alone CMS (Content Management System). As of yet, this hasn't been released with a public CMS. But hopefully soon, this system can be integrated into a fully functional, easy-to-use CMS for public release.

I have attempted to make the documentation as detailed as possible for intermediate PHP users. However, some functions are not noted yet in the standard documentation. But if you review the update logs, you can grasp a basic understanding of new features before they are integrated with the documentation.
