Does anyone know what backend/tioga is for? It's not Spanish for TOAST, is it? :-) It looks like it wasn't compilable for quite a while. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://yi.org/peter-e/

I say remove the directory. It is junk now. that is a bit rash considering that you tend to imply that you don't even know what it is? Peter, according to google, the primary Berkeley site that comes up is: http://datasplash.cs.berkeley.edu/ "DataSplash combines a sophisticated navigation model with a paint program interface with which users can create custom visualizations. A beta version of the software is now available." And, from the overview: "Tioga DataSplash (formerly known as Tioga-2) allows users to interactively create and browse visualizations of database tables. DataSplash was developed by members of the Tioga Project at the University of California at Berkeley. DataSplash software is available on Alpha/OSF, HP/UX, Intel/Linux, and Sparc /Solaris platforms. We are porting to other UNIX platforms as well." The "Quick Tour" looks really cool, but I'm not sure how tied into the whole backend/tioga directory this whole thing is. My first feel is that 'tioga datasplash' is a userland application, but someone else might be able to make a better determination?Check out this, which explains what 'Splashes' are ... it almost gives me the feel of Visual Statistical Modeling ... ? http://datasplash.cs.berkeley.edu/splashes.html If it isn't breaking anything, please leave it in there, as I'd like to look into this a bit further ...
Considering no one has used it in 4 years that I remember, my guess is that it is an abandonded Berkeley project. > On Wed, 11 Oct 2000, Bruce Momjian wrote: > > > > Does anyone know what backend/tioga is for?

If it does not break anything in our build process, please let it in there while I do further research on what it is ... I personally think what I've seen on the web site so far is interesting and bears further investigation before we just yank it out ... > > > On Wed, 11 Oct 2000, Bruce Momjian wrote: > > > > > > Does anyone know what backend/tioga is for?
