  Explanation:

  "database" is a normal database like MySQL/PostgreSQL
  any datbase can be used as long as there is a
  "SQL-plugin", that is the only thing that talks
  to the databases native API.

  "g_sql-api", this is a layer above the plugins to take
  care of things.

  "encode/decode" this is a layer unaware of what tables is
  beeing sent, it only takes a description and decode/encodes
  it.

  "Orbit skel", this is running parallell.



TESTING SERVER

start gxdd at command line.


Test if oafd has successfully registered gxdd:
my_unix$ oaf-client -s "repo_ids.has ('IDL:GxSNMP/DB:1.0')"
Query spec is "repo_ids.has ('IDL:GxSNMP/DB:1.0')"
Activation ID "OAFAID:[OAFIID:gxsnmp-db:ee8e6ae0-c604-11d4-9f30-0800208225d2,root,aska,session]" RESULT_OBJECT
IOR:003dde000000001649444c3a4778534e4d502f4753514c44423a312e3000014800000001badfaeca00000044000100000000001d2f746d702f6f726269742d726f6f742f6f72622d353832373739363000000000000000180000000000db16140ad803340000000100d01f15a67ca0e9

OK.. That looks good :-)

# oaf-client -s "repo_ids.has ('IDL:GxSNMP/DB:1.0')"
Query spec is "repo_ids.has ('IDL:GxSNMP/DB:1.0')"
User exception "IDL:OAF/GeneralError:1.0" resulted from query

This is bad, ( I wasn't running gxdd )
