Everything else AltSql offers follows from that.</p> <p>The engine is the software. The database is the data the software keeps. The engine is code: it writes records, finds them again, keeps them safe through a power cut and answers questions about them. The database is the records themselves, stored in order, usually in one file. In AltSql the hybrid lives in both. The engine is one piece of code with two ways in, and the database is one set of records that both ways reach.</p>
