Abstract

The development of several groupware applications showed that most of them use large sets of data. As GroupKit, the toolkit we are using, does neither support internal nor external databases, all data had to be stored in files. So the data were unstructured, inconsistent and access was slow, because for each access the data files had to be reprise. Therefore, we designed and implemented a generic database interface for GroupKit. With this generic database interface the strengths of GroupKit can be utilised and GroupKit applications can easily be connected to any kind of database system offering a C or C++ Interface.
