Projects

• OPeNDAP Google SoC - Web Site Design Project I (Ryan Scott) propose to update the OPeNDAP website using a content management system such as Drupal. The ultimate goal of this project will be to implement a smooth, functional, and well-organized website design that can be updated and edited very easily without needing to log in to the host server.
• SQLH: SQL Handler SQLH: SQL Handler This is a Hyrax plugin, useful to add SQL Query capabilities to the BES server. With the first release you can: * Use OLFS to set constraints * Set complex SQL (standard) query into the dataset file (Join, union) * Set constraints into the dataset * Set database password access (from dataset file OR using constraints) * Set different accessed database type (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc). It is coded in C++ using a ODBC driver (to query DBs).
