Author	Topic: Alternative User Library Database
Reaktorion	Posted: 13th March 2002 13:27
	As NI has a quite weak database interface to the user library, I built my own. Just take a look if you want. However, only the file information is in the database, you can find the zip files on the NI server (and they are linked from my interface, so downloading them will be possible).

	This is good. On the "from date" "to date" fields I didn't get accurate results. Example. Name: auReality Catagory: various shows three matches. If I try to query using the dates, specifically from 2-1-2001 to 2-20-2001 the result returns zero matches instead of one which it should show according to dates in the database. Please don't think I'm being negative, it's nice to have such a utility. I just thought I'd check it out. Perhaps I did something incorrect?

	How are you updating your own database? It seems like a good idea but could be difficult to maintain. I imagine you'd need to bot their site daily for the previous day (e.g. search "13/03/2002") I like the search options though. I thought about doing this on the desktop side with Access and a remote grabber.

Oh, thanx! quote: Name: auReality Catagory: various I think, you wanted to say: Author: auReality quote: If I try to query using the dates, specifically from 2-1-2001 to 2-20-2001 the result returns zero matches instead of one which it should show according to dates in the database. The date format is YYYY-MM-DD I have already inserted this format description at the 'Date'-Field. It is correct, there are no records between 2001-02-01 and 2001-02-20. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- quote: How are you updating your own database? A few scripts. At the moment they are started manually, but I put (today?) them in a cron-job. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- quote: nice start mate - but unless you have a full text search like the NI search the your site is actually less helpful .. Oops, my fault Actually I thought, this would be available. I add it soon. quote: also whats the point of the login? For statistics Reaktorion

	Why is your site asking me for a username and password?

	Hi! Release 2 of my User Library database is out. New: - search over description in one of two modes: a) strict order - the keywords given in the description field must appear exactly in this order in the description text b) substrings - the keywords given in the description field may appear anywhere in the description text Changes: - several keywords can be given in 'Filename'-field and 'Author'-field, the order counts Bugs fixed: - category "Audio Effect", "Sample Data" and "Sequenced Synthesizer" gave no results Reaktorion

	Very easy to use interface; well done. There's a lot wrong with the NI database facility and you've at least made a more useful front end!

	Hi Reaktor users, we are currently working with high pressure on a new User-Library for Reaktor which is planned to be released in july this year. It will feature many improvements like - browseable by category / top 100 / newest 20 - rating system - download counter - enhanced list view - sortable by upload date/name/author - enhanced ensemble view with screenshot, midi/mp3 files and user comments Stay with us Best, Martin
