, with Telco Research Corporation, has provided a frontend frame that may prove useful to many. Here is some information on the utility:

ALTDB_frontend can be copied into any OpenROAD application and allows developers to test their applications against a database other than the development repository without affecting other developers on the system. The frame provides a place to enter a database name, user name/password, and a starting frame to test. Because a starting frame is entered, individual components of an application can be tested without having to go through the application's specified "starting component".

We use the frame with both Ingres and Oracle databases, and it might also work with SQL Server. The versions it has been tested with are:

  • Oracle - 7.2.x & 7.3.x
  • Ingres - 6.4/04-06
  • OpenROAD - 3.0/04, 3.5/03

has graciously provided us with a set of simple and powerful tools for handling database transactions inside of an OpenROAD application. For more info, see the Readme file.
