jBASE Tools
This manual is one of a set of jBASE manuals, which are intended for use by
System Administrators, developers and other end users who might need guidance or
instruction on various languages, applications and/or front end systems which
jBASE provides. If you have never used or are not familiar with jBASE, we
recommend that you read the Overview Guide to familiarize yourself with
the system.

jEDI
Development Kit User Guide
The jBASE database adheres to a specific model of the Reality/PICK database
storing records as dynamic arrays in hashed files. You can view these records in
a manner similar to SQL using jQL (jBASE's version of the ENGLISH/ACCESS query
language from Reality/PICK). However, as the jBASE query language is not
(currently) ANSI SQL compliant, there are those who feel he need to use a
relational database (RDBMS). With the development of the jEDI architecture in
jBASE, the ability to use any database to store records was made possible. The
problem for most (if not all) jBASE users is mapping their existing record
structure to the RDBMS. The jEDI Development Kit (jDK) attempts to automate
this process as much as possible. There are several drivers which work in
conjunction with the jDK. These drivers work with their own specific RDBMS but
rely on jDK to generate the mapping between the dynamic array on the jBASE side
and the column tables on the RDBMS side. This manual is split into two main
sections. The first section provides generic information that is relevant to
all jEDI Development Kits. The second section provides detailed information
specific to particular jDK drivers.

jEDI
Programmer's Guide
This Guide describes how a
third party software provider can write a new database driver and interface it
to existing jBASE applications. This is provided through the jEDI API (jBASE
External Database Interface). It allows an application that performs its
database requests through jEDI to access databases not directly supported by
jEDI itself.
