NCR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DIVISION ANNOUNCES THE AVAILABILITY OF
THE TERADATA ADAPTOR FOR THE NEXT DATABASE KIT
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., August 20, 1993 -- NCR Professional Services
Division is pleased to announce the latest version of the Database
Kit Adaptor for the NEXTSTEP Object-Oriented development
environment. With the Teradata Adaptor for the NeXT Database Kit,
NEXTSTEP users gain access to the Teradata relational database
management system and to the hundreds of gigabytes of data that can
be stored in it.
The Teradata Adaptor works in conjunction with the NeXT
Database Kit, a graphical object-oriented facility that allows the
creation and execution of database queries via a "point and click"
interface. The adaptor translates data source-independent queries
into the specific query function calls for the Terdata Database,
submits them, and packages the results into data source-independent
objects. Through the use of the adaptor, NEXTSTEP users with no
knowledge of the Teradata Database or its syntax requirements can
develop object-oriented database applications complete with an easy
to use graphical user interface(GUI). The Teradata Adaptor
requires an NCR DBC/1012 computer with a LAN connection or an NCR
System 3600 computer with Teradata Database support.
In addition to the Teradata Adaptor, a suite of lower-level
query tools and libraries are included. BTEQ, a command-line
oriented SQL query tool is provided to allow sophisticated database
users access to the "guts" of a query to perform tuning and
administration functions not directly available through the DBKit
interface. The FastLoad facility provides a tool for rapidly
loading large amounts of data from the NeXT workstation into the
Teradata Database, fully utilizing the capability of the Teradata
Database engine to distribute work across all the processors in the
database server. Also, to allow for more conventional application
development, a Call-Level Interface (CLI) library of C subroutine
calls is also provided.
The Teradata Adaptor for the NeXT Database Kit is available
immediately for both the NeXT Motorola-based environment, and for
NEXTSTEP running on Intel-based 80486 and Pentium computers. Both
single and multiple license packages along with a demo version of
the adaptor are available.
