Sample database
---------------

Revision: 2000-06-28

The archive sampledb.tar.gz contains an example HP Eloquence
database along with sample data and a script file to create
and load the data base.

Installation:
------------

Linux:
  cd /opt/eloquence6/share/example
  tar xzf /tmp/sample.tar.gz

HP-UX:
  cd /opt/eloquence6/share/example
  gzcat /tmp/sample.tar.gz | tar xf -

This creates the directory sampledb and unpacks the files.

HP-UX:

The export file is encoded in ISO8859-1 character set. 
You need to convert the character set to Roman8 before
the database should be loaded. Please execute the
commands below:

  cd /opt/eloquence6/share/example/sampledb
  iconv -f iso88591 -t roman8 < sample.exp > sample.exp.tmp
  mv sample.exp.tmp sample.exp


Creating the database
---------------------

Change to the directory /opt/eloquence6/share/example/sampledb
and execute the script mkdb.sh.
An eloqdb6 server must be running on the local machine.

  cd /opt/eloquence6/share/example/sampledb
  ./mkdb.sh

Warning:
The script mkdb.sh purges/creates a database named SAMPLE.

If an error is encountered a descriptive message and help
text is printed by mkdb.sh. 


The mkdb.sh script implements some interesting ideas. 
It might be worth to have a look at it.

Enjoy!
