Dear Members, I'd like to announce a project, on wich i have worked for a 3/4 year at the University of Marburg / germany. It uses Java3D to visualize the relational algebra - a elementary model of relational databases as it is taught in Database courses at universities. There is a DB-functionality-package lying underneath, so the visualization does not imitate DB-behavior, it really does what you see. You can build a binary-tree of DB-operators and watch the data flying from one to another in animations, when a query is performed. But I don't want to tell to much about the project at this place. If you are interessted, you can find more information at the VisualXXL- project website: http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~wirsam/xxl/ Of course i would appreciate your comments/critic on the project and the web-documentation. If you know any Database-People who might be interessted in VisualXXL please tell them. Thanks Wido Keywords: relational database query dataflow runtime visualization animation =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
