Oracle8 ConText Cartridge Workbench

Oracle8 ConText Cartridge Workbench consists of the following components:

• Oracle8 ConText Cartridge System Administration
• Oracle8 ConText Cartridge Viewer
• Oracle8 ConText Cartridge I/O Utility

Oracle8 ConText Cartridge System Administration

The Oracle8 ConText Cartridge System Administration tool is a GUI application that can be used to perform system and text administration tasks. Before you can connect to the database using the Oracle8 ConText Cartridge System Administration tool, an entry for the database must be added to the TNSNAMES.ORA file. In addition, the CTXSYS user may have to connect once to each database. If this is required for a particular database, the Oracle8 ConText Cartridge System Administration tool notifies you when you attempt to connect to the database.

Note: CTXSYS needs to connect only once per database. Once CTXSYS connects to a database, the database is enabled thereafter for all users. See the online help with the Oracle8 ConText Cartridge System Administration tool for details on connecting to the database.

Oracle8 ConText Cartridge Viewer

The Oracle8 ConText Cartridge Viewer is supplied as a custom control (OCX), which can be embedded in any application developed in an environment, such as Visual Basic, and Visual C⁺⁺.

Additional Information: See online help for instructions for using the viewer.

Oracle8 ConText Cartridge I/O Utility

The Oracle8 ConText Cartridge I/O Utility is stand-alone executable that can be used to load text to a database column, load text from a column into a file, execute SQL and PL/SQL code, and call other executables from the MS-DOS command prompt.

Additional Information: See Oracle8 ConText Cartridge Application Developer's Guide for instructions for using the I/O utility.
