Introducing the Driver Strategy Database's Online Database

[impulse3D]

The DSD Development Team is proud to announce the release of the DSD eXtreme Edition Open Beta 0.14. The DSD XE is the local application component of the DSD project, to which the Online Database component (thread here) was released early last week.

The local application includes integration of the Online Database and a viewing interface. It also has a Query Wizard, SQL Query String Editor, and extensive preferences dialog. However, the DSD is focused on creating a database to which FIRST teams can look to one single place for all of their knowledge needs concerning information about other teams. To make the database more useful, helpful, and effective, please register your team with as much information as possible with the DSD Online Database.

Keep in mind that the Open Beta may still have bugs (Open Beta). Currently, you can only view an updated team database by opening the XML document in Excel and converting it to an access database, but eventually there will be native support for direct downloading from the internet. This Open Beta is intended to provide a preview as to what the DSD local application will look like. However, the DSD Online Database is very much workable and, again, teams are encouraged to register their team with the database.

You can download the DSD XE Open Beta 0.14 at http://dsd.impulse3d.com/downloads.php .

Again, please register your team information with the DSD Online Database to help promote the usefulness and effectiveness of the database.

Direct any questions concerning the local application (general questions and/or bug reports) to Raivo Lindemann at nightwolf@optonline.net or AIM screenname NightWolf1298. Questions concerning the DSD Online Database should be directed to dsdod@impulse3d.com or AIM screenname TriArkSoftware.
