工作流平台中用矩阵状态表代替关系型数据库的思考

现在的工作流系统都需要关系型数据库的支持，要使用一套工作流系统，特别是在运行过程中，启动工作流引擎的时候，都需要用数据库来跑流程的实例和记录流程的状态值，可以说工作流引擎和数据库的关系非常密切，没有数据库的支持，工作流就无法运行，但是如果我们把思路扩展一下，这样思考，如果工作流系统的运行都必须依赖关系型数据库，那么工作流的应用范围就会受到限制，比如说，在某些嵌入式平台中，磁盘和内存比较小，操作系统也不支持数据库，我们如果要启动工作流引擎，没有关系型数据库的支持，工作流是否就无法运行了呢？
当然不是
我正在尝试建立一套不依赖数据库系统的嵌入式工作流引擎，其原理就是用一种自定义的拓扑矩阵表来代替关系型数据库，我设想的是在JWFD的平台里面加入一个矩阵模型，以前设计出来的流程图只能够解析进入数据库，以后增加一个方式，解析到矩阵状态表中，这个矩阵表其实就是一个带有状态值关系的二维数组，既可以保存流程图的拓扑关系，也可以存储流程节点运行过程的状态值，那么流程引擎的运行可以在关系型数据库中实现，也可以在矩阵表中实现，如果我们在一台没有安装任何数据库系统的机器上面，只是用JWFD的平台，就可以实现从设计流程图到全自动运行流程的过程。。。。如果做出来，还真的比较有趣啊。。。。(关于矩阵工作流的模型请参考我这篇博文 http://comsci.iteye.com/blog/1188482,系统学报有篇论文，有参考价值 ”运用结构化矩阵对SBA工作流建模“ 道客88上面有)
JWFD一直用SWING的界面来实现，有一个好处，可以跨平台，在LINUX下面也可以跑。。。。一个小巧的嵌入式工作流系统，不依赖数据库。。真有趣。。。再加上自动数据处理的机制。。。非常有趣。。。。自己掌握核心技术的好处就是，想怎么搞就怎么搞。。。哈哈

How does Go language implement the addition, deletion, modification and query operations of the database?
Mar 27, 2024 pm 09:39 PM
Go language is an efficient, concise and easy-to-learn programming language. It is favored by developers because of its advantages in concurrent programming and network programming. In actual development, database operations are an indispensable part. This article will introduce how to use Go language to implement database addition, deletion, modification and query operations. In Go language, we usually use third-party libraries to operate databases, such as commonly used sql packages, gorm, etc. Here we take the sql package as an example to introduce how to implement the addition, deletion, modification and query operations of the database. Assume we are using a MySQL database.
How does Hibernate implement polymorphic mapping?
Apr 17, 2024 pm 12:09 PM
Hibernate polymorphic mapping can map inherited classes to the database and provides the following mapping types: joined-subclass: Create a separate table for the subclass, including all columns of the parent class. table-per-class: Create a separate table for subclasses, containing only subclass-specific columns. union-subclass: similar to joined-subclass, but the parent class table unions all subclass columns.

iOS 18 adds a new 'Recovered' album function to retrieve lost or damaged photos
Jul 18, 2024 am 05:48 AM
Apple's latest releases of iOS18, iPadOS18 and macOS Sequoia systems have added an important feature to the Photos application, designed to help users easily recover photos and videos lost or damaged due to various reasons. The new feature introduces an album called "Recovered" in the Tools section of the Photos app that will automatically appear when a user has pictures or videos on their device that are not part of their photo library. The emergence of the "Recovered" album provides a solution for photos and videos lost due to database corruption, the camera application not saving to the photo library correctly, or a third-party application managing the photo library. Users only need a few simple steps
An in-depth analysis of how HTML reads the database
Apr 09, 2024 pm 12:36 PM
HTML cannot read the database directly, but it can be achieved through JavaScript and AJAX. The steps include establishing a database connection, sending a query, processing the response, and updating the page. This article provides a practical example of using JavaScript, AJAX and PHP to read data from a MySQL database, showing how to dynamically display query results in an HTML page. This example uses XMLHttpRequest to establish a database connection, send a query and process the response, thereby filling data into page elements and realizing the function of HTML reading the database.
Analysis of the basic principles of MySQL database management system
Mar 25, 2024 pm 12:42 PM
Analysis of the basic principles of the MySQL database management system MySQL is a commonly used relational database management system that uses structured query language (SQL) for data storage and management. This article will introduce the basic principles of the MySQL database management system, including database creation, data table design, data addition, deletion, modification, and other operations, and provide specific code examples. 1. Database Creation In MySQL, you first need to create a database instance to store data. The following code can create a file named "my
How to handle database connection errors in PHP
Jun 05, 2024 pm 02:16 PM
To handle database connection errors in PHP, you can use the following steps: Use mysqli_connect_errno() to obtain the error code. Use mysqli_connect_error() to get the error message. By capturing and logging these error messages, database connection issues can be easily identified and resolved, ensuring the smooth running of your application.
Tips and practices for handling Chinese garbled characters in databases with PHP
Mar 27, 2024 pm 05:21 PM
PHP is a back-end programming language widely used in website development. It has powerful database operation functions and is often used to interact with databases such as MySQL. However, due to the complexity of Chinese character encoding, problems often arise when dealing with Chinese garbled characters in the database. This article will introduce the skills and practices of PHP in handling Chinese garbled characters in databases, including common causes of garbled characters, solutions and specific code examples. Common reasons for garbled characters are incorrect database character set settings: the correct character set needs to be selected when creating the database, such as utf8 or u
