Hi all,
I am wondering if I am the only dude who's struggling with the installation
of xsql and related demos, I didn't find much info on this topic in the
newsgroups.
I've spent some hours playing around with the demos and I managed to get
them to work finally, although I had to amend some installation scripts
because they won't run at all.
The demo called emp/dept in the empdept subdirectory of
demo/java/xsql/empdept doesn't work on a windows machine because the text
files lack the proper newline terminator. When I ran the script right out of
the box, I got several parsing errors and I had to manually add newlines. It
looks like some of the demo files have been copied from a unix environment
in binary mode instead of ascii.
The same happened with docdemo.sql and insclaim.sql.
Also, xsql demo connection is defaulted to scott/tiger, but in order to
compile this stuff as scott you must manually grant all the necessary
priveleges to the user or grant the resource role to cut it short.
Last but not least, the svg file, created on-the-fly, comes out with some
nasty DTD that causes the (in)famous blue screen
to appear as soon as I tried to open it with Adobe SVG Viewer 3.01.
After removing the unnecessary and bogus DTD declaration, everything worked
out fine.
Is it possible that I am the only one who's ever seen this???
Bye,
Flavio
