This is all nice, and I would really like to use QuantumDB, but I've followed the instructions above and can't get past step 3. QuantumDB is not listed under Window | Open Perspective | Other, and yes, I have restarted Eclipse.

Do you have a QuantumDB entry in Window | Preferences? If not, you may have not uncompress the zip file in the correct directory. You must have a directory named com.quantum.Quantum_2.4.5 in the plugins directory of eclipse.

if u have done it all correctly then go to : help -> software update -> manage config. -> third tab from left ; there enable quantum db plugins.

Dave, you may also need to add GEF
(Graphical Editing Framework) and EMF
(Eclipse Modeling Framework) plugins in
order to get QuantumDB in "other".

For those of us who need very clear instructions, here is how to get the GEF and MEF packages (which I needed to get the Quantum DB 3.0.1 going on Eclipse 3.2).

- Help->Software Updates->Find And Install
- Choose "Search for New Features to Add" and select "Next"
- Tick "Callisto Discovery Site" and select "finish"
- Select a mirror. I just stayed with the first one
- Expand the "Callisto Discovery Site" and "Graphical Editors and Frameworks" and "Models and Model Development" and tick "GEF" and "MEF" and select "Finish"
- Then it asks if you want to restart. Say yes and then the QuantumDB perspective can be opened.

For Ubuntu users using MySQL 4.1 prior, upgrading to MySQL 5.0.x. and having 'java.net.Socket Exception' trouble now.

Edit your /etc/mysql/my.cnf at:

#MY.CNF - SNIP START#
bind-address 127.0.0.1 #uncomment this line
#skip-networking #commnent this line out
#MY.CNF - SNIP END#

Restart your mysqld in order to able to use Quantum DB Bookmarks. Everything works fine now. (server and clients on the same machine assumed, for clients on different hosts use range pattern like xx.xx.xx.xx - xx.xx.xx.xx)

Note: You can use either the old 3.1 J/Connector or the new one 5.0.4 (version as of writing this text) for conneting to your MySQL 5 server.

Good Luck

For people starting from a clean slate (no eclipse). Try using easyeclipse.org. I have the lamp version of easyeclipse which had QuantumDB already installed. I just had to follow the above instructions to add the driver for mysql.

Nice instructions - thanks!

A note for EasyEclipse users: I am using EasyEclipse for Python version 1.2.1.3 which does not have the QuantumDB plugin pre-installed.

After downloading the EasyEclipse packaged QuantmDB plugin from the EasyEclipse site I installed it and restarted Eclipse. After installation I found that the 5.1 J/Connector from MySQL does not work. For now stick to the 5.0 series.

i have just installed db quantum but i've become te following connect error sqlstate 08S01
help please!!!!!

Hi, I'm trying to use Quantum DB to connect to an IBM Informix DB and am getting the following error

Can't load driver java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

SQL State:IX000

Error Code: -79704

Anyone know how to resolve this? I've googled it but that comes up with solutions for the coding and not for Quantum.

Thanks in advance guys

Hi,

I follow Serge Baccou & yatin instructions, but failed like Dave too pass steps3.

1. Thats what i did I had Eclipse 3.4.0 (Desktop/Eclipse) in place & QuantumDB (Desktop/Eclipse/com.quantum.feature_3.3.0.2.bin.dist).

2. Go to Help> Software Update> Manage Sites> Add> Local> Select Folder ((Desktop/Eclipse/com.quantum.feature_3.3.0.2.bin.dist)

3. Checked on the list where I just added the folder and click install, thats what I get:

"Unexpected error encountered while preparing for the operation.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"

Regards, Edison

I couldn't get this to install by unzipping, instead click

Help, Install New Software, Add, Archive and then click on the ZIP folder you download from the sourceforge site.

Then check all the boxes, agree to the licence and you're done.

(need GEF first)

Thank you very much!

I follows your instructions and was finally able to get it going with Mysql and Aptana.
It's been a while since you wrote this, but you made me a really happy person.

Have a great day,
Michael
