NEW POST: Explanation of the today's update and the dawn of a new day (literally!)

Addd a few class that will make it much easier to remove the dependency on the commercial version of nextanalytics (available from www.nextanalytics.com).

If you study the code-behind pages for the ASPX, you will see that those code-behind modules make reference to these classes in the commercial product. Now, with this upload, you can refer to these open source ones instead.

The open-source versions of them allow you to connect to and run a SQL command. If it has conformed to the syntax of nextanalytics, then your Open Source user interface code should run fine.

This is a big step towards removing the dependency on the commercial product and the open source version of these classes can take on a life and direction of their own.

NEW POST: Now there are java and c# versions available

I just uploaded the code that interfaces with analyticengine.jar which is available from www.nextanalytics.com. This runs on windows and unix platforms to help you get best of breed analytics into your application.

This morning, I uploaded a Visual Studio 2008 project complete with source code. This has a variety of an asp.net pages that interact with data.dll, which is the .NET version of the analytic engine.

NEW POST: 18618 accidentally includes tfc.exe and cpc.exe (sorry!)

I hope this isn't a serious problem. They were in the directory when I did the cpc syncup and I couldn't figure how to get these files out of the list. (When I took them out of the notepad listing, that had no effect. When I tried cpc clearcache, I thought it would let me start over but I couldn't see any difference.) I decided to upload the release because I didn't think anybody would mind. With this note, if you don't like them being there, now you know that you can remove them.

NEW POST: currently has a dependency on software available at nextanalytics.com

"Initial Version" currently links to a commercial software package that's free for Developers, available for a free download at nextanalytics.com. You will not be bombarded by email to attend "training" or to pay for "support packages". Instead, you will get plentiful free support and training and, if you use the software for commercial purposes, you are asked to send $595/year to nextanalytics corporation. We think this is the preferable business model for a user of open source.

Some other people prefer that software they use should be free and that there should be no dependency on something that isn't completely free. If you are one of these kinds of people, I invite you to modify your version of the open source code to remove that dependency. Put some effort behind your philosophies, talk is cheap. I suggest the best way to to do this is to modify it to read xml, that way you'll get sufficient metadata to still do useful things with the data. I don't see the point, but you are free to do it, if you want.
