Views Studio
A ready-to-use version of Views Studio, delivered as a binary file called ivfstudio is provided in the studio/<system> directory. Views Studio is a GUI builder that will help you create and generate Views applications.
Directories
data/ilviews: contains the data files used by the library (inspector panels, message databases, and so on). data/images: contains image data files. data/icon: contains some icons. data/DCW: contains some DCW-generated files. bin: contains binary files, along with source code. The README file in the bin directory explains how to build these binary files. Two useful programs can be built in <ILVHOME>/bin/<system>: ilv2data, which can build a "resource file" that can be linked with your application in order to make it environment-independent. splitdbm, which converts pre-3.0 message databases into the new format, including the new language definition and encoding. samples: contains sample files. You can read the README file by clicking here. For each sample, you need to go to the platform directory and run the make utility to build it. tools: contains more specific solutions to common problems. Views Data Access: Known Incompatibilities with Version 5.0
Data Access 5.1 is source-compatible with Data Access 5.0. However, binary compatibility is not granted. C++ code must be recompiled and programs must be relinked because the header files have been modified (for example, to support Oracle 9i).
Note that source compatibility concerns only the documented API. Data Access 5.1 does not support Oracle 7.3 and Oracle 8.0, but it supports Oracle 9i. Users of Oracle10.x can use the Oracle 9i client to access the Oracle database.
The databases for the ppc_linux2_glibc2.3_gcc3.2 platform have not been tested as we do not have any database client for this platform.
