It uses multiple strategies to handling data...
[Copied from Readme File]
Free or Structured or Mixed
- STRUCTURED
Regular (table, row, column) format.
[DATABASE]
/ \
TX TableY
\_____________________________
|ROW_0 Colum_0 Colum_1 Colum_2|
|ROW_1 Colum_0 Colum_1 Colum_2|
|_____________________________|
- FREE
More creative data storing. You can store data in any structure you want for each (free) element, its similar to storing an array with a unique "Id".
[DATABASE]
/ \
EX ElementY (ID)
\________________
|Field_0 Value_0 |
|Field_1 Value_1 |
|Field_2 Value_2 |
|________________|
recall [ID]: get_free("ElementY") --> array([Field_0]=>Value_0,[Field_1]=>Value_1...
- MIXD (Mixed)
Mixed databases can store both free elements and tables.If you add a table to a free db or a free element to a structured db, flat fire will automatically convert FREE or SRCT to MIXD database.
