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.
