Title: Re: [Hardhats-members] AIDA & GTM

Yes, Aida is what you think it is, but with just a JDBC driver, and no ODBC driver.  However, there is no good tutorial that I know of, and you have to figure out how to map the Fileman files to SQL tables.  Lots of potential, but not something for the faint-hearted.

A simpler route to SQL/ODBC access is KB_SQL (http:www.knowledgebasedsys.com) but you will need to buy a license, and you will need an ODBC/JDBC bridge.

Subject: [Hardhats-members] AIDA & GTM

Hi all,

In the URL : "http://www.sanchez.com/news_2001/nr_010618.asp", I found the following data "The collection of open source GT.M applications includes Aida, a relational (SQL) engine for a GT.M database with an ODBC/JDBC driver and a Java GUI using the Swing classes".

What I could infer from the above is, Aida is a relational SQL Engine ... ie sort of interface to GTM dataface and ODBC/JDBC drivers are available to access this Aida.

Will the data entered into Aida will be automatically updated into GTM database ? Can we write our custom Java frontend to access the globals of GTM ? If yes can any one help me in finding tutorial / guidance sort of thing.

Thanks & Regards
Vittal.
