Thom Brown: LOAD "PL/CBMBASIC",8,1: Commodore 64 BASIC for PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL Planet4w4 min read
If you are of a certain age, the words 38911 BASIC BYTES FREE will do something to you that no amount of therapy can undo. You remember the blue screen. You remember typing in three pages of a listing from a magazine, getting ?SYNTAX ERROR IN 2340 , and not knowing which of the three pages contained the typo. You remember that the disk drive was device 8, and that it was slower than continental drift. I have some news. All of that now runs inside PostgreSQL. PL/CBMBASIC is a procedural language extension that executes function bodies on Commodore 64 BASIC V2. Not a lookalike, not a tribute act
