Development picked up again

Some weeks back I posted that the development of SQLbusRT had started. After some days this task had been postponed to reconsider the architectural design and to do some more theoretical research.

The version I started was programmed in C, which seemed to be a logical choice since there's a good ORTE API in C.

Yesterday I restarted the coding, now with C++ as the language. It's still possible to use the C API for ORTE, but it also allows me to have an object oriented approach.

The following components will be present in the first release:
  • A tiny API for writing simple clients and sensors
  • An insertion interface, which writes the sensor data to the database
  • A selection interface, which handles query requests from clients
  • A small example client and sensor
As soon as a package becomes available, I will post a message here on how to retrieve it.

I'd love to talk about your plans for SQLbusRT, as I think it's a really cool project.

Cheers!
