What is GODA?

GODA is a programming language that allows the user to manipulate and administer data. Users can create collections of user-defined objects and keep them in libraries. Users can create, import, and export their own libraries and collections. Users may also import their own custom made commands and apply them to selected libraries.

Overview

Motivation

Managing databases can often be tedious. GODA (Generic Objective Data Administrator) is a command line designed to ease the process of manipulating databases. From a quick deployment to easy-to-learn commands, GODA is aimed towards versatility and flexibility, allowing the users to create, import, and exports their own databases through csv files, and importing their own written algorithms as commands to carry out tasks that would otherwise be impossible with other programs. GODA is an objective data administrator, which means data is interpreted and treated as unique objects with their own attributes. It also allows the user to work on multiple databases at the same time.

Features

Approach

  1. GODA uses a lexical analyzer to read user input and a parser to carry out the instructions.
  2. GODA.py is the main module which contains the lexical analyzer and the parser.
  3. The parser directly communicates with Handler.py which connects all other modules and ADTs.
  4. We used PLY: Python Lexical Yacc
