It provides +tools, APIs, and library support that allow you to persist C++ objects +to a relational database (RDBMS) without having to deal with tables, +columns, or SQL and without manually writing any of the mapping code. +For more information see: + +http://www.codesynthesis.com/products/odb/ + +This package contains the pre-compiled binary distribution of the ODB +compiler. The top-level directory structure of this package is as +follows: + +bin/ ODB compiler binary +doc/ ODB system documentation +man/ man pages for the ODB compiler +<arch>-<os>/ GCC compiler binaries, see manifest inside for details + +To install this package simply unpack it into a directory of your choice, +for example /opt/. You can run the ODB compiler by either using the +absolute path, for example: + +/opt/odb-x.y.z-i686-linux-gnu/bin/odb --version + +Or you can add the bin/ directory to the PATH environment variable, for +example: + +export PATH=/opt/odb-x.y.z-i686-linux-gnu/bin:$PATH +odb --version + +Note also that while you can move the ODB compiler directory around, you +cannot move individual sub-directories or files inside it. For example, +copying or linking the ODB compiler executable to /usr/local/bin/ will +not work. + +Send questions, bug reports, or any other feedback to the +odb-users@codesynthesis.com mailing list. |
