Bruce May I interject here? I downloaded the Quantum DB plugin (ver 3.0 for my WDSC v6.0), but how do you install it? I copied the contents of the .zip file to C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\eclipse\plugins. I restarted WDSC (several times) and even tried recreating my iSeries connection (not that that would matter in this case) - but I could never get access to the Quantum DB Perspective. Can you, or anyone, tell me the proper procedure for installing this plugin? Thanks Bob Cagle IT Manager Lynk, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bruce Guetzkow Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 1:08 PM To: wdsci-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [WDSCI-L] RE: Plugins Similar to Prodata DBU Richard: <snip> I am currently evaluating Prodata's GUI DBU database access utility for use by our other WDSc users. I would appreciate it if anyone could recommend similar plugins to compare it to. </snip> There is a (free) product called Quantum DB which I believe is available from www.SourceForge.net. Be sure to download the version that corresponds to your version of Eclipse (2.0/3.0). I used it under 2.0. It establishes its own perspective and uses an SQL interface. Unlike DBU (which I also have, green-screen and GUI) Quantum does not directly support modifying data in the file. You would use the SQL Update statement to change data. There is also a product called Frog for IBM iSeries DB2. This is NOT a WDSc plugin, but is similar in function to Quantum. The only thing I don't like about the DBU GUI WDSc plugin is that all it really does is provide a link to start up their GUI product (which is stand-alone). The GUI does not create its own perspective or perform anything within the WDSc framework. Having said that, I have used DBU (green-screen) for many years and am very happy. The GUI is nice, but not as intuitive as it could be. Hope that helps, --Bruce Guetzkow
