Simple database
Write a simple tool to track a small set of data.
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
The tool should have a command-line interface to enter at least two different values.
The entered data should be stored in a structured format and saved to disk.
It does not matter what kind of data is being tracked. It could be a collection (CDs, coins, baseball cards, books), a diary, an electronic organizer (birthdays/anniversaries/phone numbers/addresses), etc.
You should track the following details:
- A description of the item. (e.g., title, name)
- A category or tag (genre, topic, relationship such as “friend” or “family”)
- A date (either the date when the entry was made or some other date that is meaningful, like the birthday); the date may be generated or entered manually
- Other optional fields
The command should support the following Command-line arguments to run:
- Add a new entry
- Print the latest entry
- Print the latest entry for each category
- Print all entries sorted by a date
The category may be realized as a tag or as structure (by making all entries in that category subitems)
The file format on disk should be human readable, but it need not be standardized. A natively available format that doesn't need an external library is preferred. Avoid developing your own format if you can use an already existing one. If there is no existing format available, pick one of:

Bracmat
This is a rather minimal solution. The program is run from the command line of the operating system, in this example the Windows command prompt. The program is stored in a file called 'sdb': <lang bracmat> whl ' ( arg$:?command
& ( get'db | (db=1)&lst$(db,db,NEW) ) & !command : ( add & :?name:?tag:?date & whl ' ( arg$:?argmnt & arg$:?value & (!argmnt.!value) : ( (title|name.?name) | (category|tag.?tag) | (date.?date) ) ) & ( !name:~ & !tag:~ & !date:~ & ( !db:?*!tag^(?+(!date.!name)+?)*? & out$"This record already exists" | !tag^(!date.!name)*!db:?db & lst$(db,db,NEW) ) | out$"invalid data" ) | latest & :?date & nothing found:?latest & ( !db : ? * ?tag ^ ( ? + ( (>!date:?date.?name) & (!name,!tag,!date):?latest & ~ ) + ? ) * ? | out$!latest ) | latest/category & :?date:?latests:?latest & ( !db : ? * ( ?tag & !latests !latest:?latests & :?latest:?date ) ^ ( ? + ( (>!date:?date.?name) & (!name,!tag,!date):?latest & ~ ) + ? ) * ? | !latests !latest:?latests&out$!latests ) | sorted & 0:?sorted & ( !db : ? * ?tag ^ ( ? + ( (?date.?name) & (!date.!name,!tag,!date)+!sorted:?sorted & ~ ) + ? ) * ? | whl ' (!sorted:(?.?row)+?sorted&out$!row) ) ) );
</lang> First we add some records, a some ships that arrived at the harbour in Rotterdam today.
bracmat "get$sdb" add name "CORONA BULKER" tag "BULK CARRIER" date "2014.10.21.04:00" bracmat "get$sdb" add name "FPMC 21" tag "CHEMICAL TANKER" date "2014.10.15.12:00" bracmat "get$sdb" add name "CHINA PROGRESS" tag "BULK CARRIER" date "2014.10.13.22:00" bracmat "get$sdb" add name "FAIRCHEM YUKA" tag "CHEMICAL TANKER" date "2014.10.13.12:00" bracmat "get$sdb" add name "NAVE COSMOS" tag "CHEMICAL TANKER" date "2014.10.13.10:00" bracmat "get$sdb" add name "GOLDEN ICE" tag "BULK CARRIER" date "2014.10.10.12:00" bracmat "get$sdb" add name "GHAZAL" tag "CRUDE OIL" date "2014.10.10.12:00" bracmat "get$sdb" add name "HS MEDEA" tag "CRUDE OIL" date "2014.10.10.02:00"
Instead of 'name' you can use 'title' and instead of 'tag' you can use 'category'. The date has to be year first and day last, followed by time information if you like. No attempt is made to validate the date/time. Now the queries:
prompt> bracmat "get$sdb" latest CORONA BULKER,BULK CARRIER,2014.10.21.04:00 prompt> bracmat "get$sdb" latest/category (CORONA BULKER,BULK CARRIER,2014.10.21.04:00) (FPMC 21,CHEMICAL TANKER,2014.10.15.12:00) (GHAZAL,CRUDE OIL,2014.10.10.12:00) prompt> bracmat "get$sdb" sorted HS MEDEA,CRUDE OIL,2014.10.10.02:00 GHAZAL,CRUDE OIL,2014.10.10.12:00 GOLDEN ICE,BULK CARRIER,2014.10.10.12:00 NAVE COSMOS,CHEMICAL TANKER,2014.10.13.10:00 FAIRCHEM YUKA,CHEMICAL TANKER,2014.10.13.12:00 CHINA PROGRESS,BULK CARRIER,2014.10.13.22:00 FPMC 21,CHEMICAL TANKER,2014.10.15.12:00 CORONA BULKER,BULK CARRIER,2014.10.21.04:00
The database file 'db' looks like this:
db= "BULK CARRIER" ^ ( ("2014.10.10.12:00"."GOLDEN ICE") + ("2014.10.13.22:00"."CHINA PROGRESS") + ("2014.10.21.04:00"."CORONA BULKER") ) * "CHEMICAL TANKER" ^ ( ("2014.10.13.10:00"."NAVE COSMOS") + ("2014.10.13.12:00"."FAIRCHEM YUKA") + ("2014.10.15.12:00"."FPMC 21") ) * "CRUDE OIL"^(("2014.10.10.02:00"."HS MEDEA")+("2014.10.10.12:00".GHAZAL));
Use is made of Bracmat's automatic normalization of algebraic formula to turn the data into a hierarchical structure, with the tag as the top level and the date/time immediately below that level.

A simple database in C with some error checking, even. A quick test with Valgrind revealed no obvious memory leaks. The following data was used for testing. -> database.csv

This is a souped-up version of the task from Take notes on the command line. It stores the current date, a tag, a title and a note as an entry in a file. The database produced is not particularly human-readable or easy to modify, but it is in a well-structured format.

Here are a few steps to add a few titles, and their categories:
$ clisp db.lisp insert "title-vinyl-1" "vinyl" $ clisp db.lisp insert "title-cd-1" "cd" $ clisp db.lisp insert "title-dvd-1" "dvd" $ clisp db.lisp insert "title-tape-1" "tape" $ clisp db.lisp insert "title-tape-2" "tape"
Here is the very latest entry in the db:
$ clisp db.lisp show title-tape-2: (tape) (2017-04-04 20:19:06)
Here is a (sorted time wise) list of all the entries:

Commands must be in lower case. If no command is specified, the default command is latest.
Latest prints the latest item. All prints all items in chronological order. Tags prints the lastest item for each tag. Help prints this message.
Add adds data as a new record. The format is,
name [tags] [notes]
Name is the name of the item and is required for the add command.
Tags are optional. A tag is a single word. A single tag can be specified without enclosing brackets. Multiple tags can be specified by enclosing them in square brackets.
Text remaining after tags is taken as notes. Notes do not have to be enclosed in quotes or brackets. The brackets above are only showing that notes are optional.
Quotes may be useful however--as recognized by your operating system shell or command line--to allow entry of arbitrary text. In particular, quotes or escape characters may be needed to prevent the shell from trying to interpret brackets or other special characters.
Examples: sdb add Bookends // no tags, no notes sdb add Bookends rock my favorite // tag: rock, notes: my favorite sdb add Bookends [rock folk] // two tags sdb add Bookends [] "Simon & Garfunkel" // notes, no tags sdb add "Simon&Garfunkel [artist]" // name: Simon&Garfunkel, tag: artist
As shown in the last example, if you use features of your shell to pass all data as a single string, the item name and tags will still be identified by separating whitespace.

Haskell
The database is a list of type Item stored in a StateT monad transformer that allows for IO actions to be perfomed with it (StateT [Item] IO a). All IO actions occurring inside the StateT monad (handling command line arguments and printing items) must be lifted. The database is written to disk using "show" and read back using "read". Therefore, Item is declared as an instance of both Show and Read classes. An item in the database file looks like the following: Item {description = "La traviata", category = ["Classical"], date = Date 2012 10 19, optional = ["Giuseppe Verdi","1853"]}

J comes with a sql database, jdb. Jdb's columns are memory mapped files with header information. These won't meet the human readable data file requirement. Hence, this program:

Tcl
The format used is that of a Tcl dictionary, where each entry uses the title as a key and the remaining information (category, date and miscellaneous metadata) is the value associated with it. The only variation from the standard internal format is that entries are separated by newlines instead of spaces; this is still a legal value, but is a non-canonical. <lang tcl>#!/usr/bin/env tclsh8.6 package require Tcl 8.6 namespace eval udb {
