RE: Quantum DB (was Plugins Similar to Prodata DBU)

Duane,

I'm trying to install the Quantum DB plugin v3.0.0 in WDSCi 6.0 and I
followed your post.

WDSC found the features to install, but I'm getting an error on "Select
Features to Install" that says The current configuration contains errors
and this operation can have unpredictable results.  Hyades (3.0.2)
requires feature "org.eclipse.hyades.test"."


Did you see this?

That worked for WDSC 5.x but for 6.0 I had to extract the Quantum DB to
a local directory, the in WDSC 6.0 go to Help->Software Updates->Find
and Install... In the wizard select "search for new features to
install", select "Next", select "New Local Site" select the directory in
which you extracted the Quantum DB.

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

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,
