Intended Audience
Because OpenROAD is intended for developers who want to create database applications, this guide assumes you know:
• Basic programming concepts, including the principles of object-oriented programming (OOP)
• Basic relational DBMS concepts, such as databases, tables, and cursors
• Structured Query Language (SQL)
• How to use basic OpenROAD features such as creating frames, forms, procedures, user classes, and global variables
In addition, you must be familiar with your window manager and toolkit, including terminology, navigational techniques, and how to work with standard items, such as menus and dialogs. If you are not, see your window manager documentation before using OpenROAD.
