Database Installation Notes

MySQL is the supported database type. In order to run DLXS you will need to have a MySQL server installed. Sample data is delivered in the form of a MySQL dump file which can be directly imported into a MySQL database. The database upgrade script (upgrade_6_7) operates only on a MySQL database. These issues are documented in detail in the installation instructions and the upgrade instructions.

METS Pageturner and Collection Builder

• Continuing development work in Pageturner. New application: Collection Builder allows users to add items to a personal collection via widgets in Pageturner. These applications are not part of DLXS. They use a different code base mainly under DLXSROOT/{web,bin,cgi}/m/mdp and DLXSROOT/lib/App. Stub routines are required in Pageturner to abstract the database connections and an installation of Solr/Lucene is required to support the collection search in Collection Builder. The user interface makes extensive use of Yahoo User Interfacen toolkit (YUI) functionality.

SRU

• Added fielded searching to query -- not yet Level 1 or 2, though
