Tips for Evaluating DayCart® The following is a good set of steps to get you going; you will learn a lot about the capabilities and flexibility of DayCart® and you will end up with a useful set of tools at the end. Take a snapshot of your corporate structure and/or reaction file, convert to SMILESTM if not already available, load into an Oracle table and create the indexes. Do some of your own performance benchmarking based on typical/desired queries from your users. These can be done in regular SQL (no user interface needed) Build a simple interface using MS Excel/Query. On a PC, install the Oracle ODBC drivers. Connect to the Oracle server and construct and execute chemical queries using only off-the-shelf client tools. You can then integrate the ChemDraw plugin for rendering, etc. Explore some of the automated 'interface-builder' tools that are available. Those that we have tested work well with DayCart®, so one can use them to rapidly prototype applications that handle chemistry and chemical searching If these sound like the kind of tasks that you would like to pursue please contact support@daylight.com and we'll help you get started with them
