Would love to see the indexed file system that is in BBC BASIC added to LBB.

Why don't you rather use SQL with Access, MS SQL or MySQL, etc?

Is there an easy way to access My SQL or Access files available? Searching this board for "database" yields zero results.

You can do almost anything you want with LBB including SQL.
If you can tell us what you want to do maybe we can Show you a prototype SQL example for you.
Best.

How about just a simple address book example utilizing MySQL. Might be the easiest for most people to understand as a tutorial.
Thanks,

Cheetah also provides an indexed file system. I have two example programs posted on this forum. Remember-It and DBMS, both in the Showcase section. But I too would be pleased to see an SQL example, CryptoMan.

BBC BASIC doesn't have any built-in "indexed file system" capability; it doesn't even have the functionality of Liberty BASIC's put and get statements! There's certainly nothing that BBC BASIC's file-handling capabilities can do that LBB's cannot do (indeed I had to enhance BBC BASIC for Windows in order to support LBB in this regard).
The only "indexed file system" that I can guess you may be referring to is an example program (it must have been written in the 1980s) listed in the BBC BASIC help manual. That uses two files - an index file and a data file - to implement a simple random-access database. But it's just a regular BASIC program, and one that could be straightforwardly translated to Liberty BASIC.
Richard.
