In the course of my work I generate gigabytes of data files. These are given fairly generic names that include the time and place. But they do not include a lot of other meta data I would like to store along side the data. Adding the meta data to the file itself is not an easy option as it would have to be striped before the file could be used again.
I am looking for an application that would maintain a database of file names and meta data. I would then add notes to the meta data either at the time of generation or later during testing "eg. File demonstrates bug 73988234". An application would them be available to query the database on file name, date, time, and various meta data columns of my creation.
Given time, I could right this using something my sqlite, but I would rather a turn key application.
Any hints/suggestions?
