An initial version of the table design for the Hall D calibration and parameters database and the interface to communicate with the database server is reported.
The database was created and tested in MySQL 4.0.20 and the interface was compiled and tested under gcc 3.4.1.
The current version does only very essential validation and error handling, so when using the interface exact observation of the rules and conventions is recommended.
A simple CGI web interface was also developed in order to allow the execution of sample tasks (creating or modifying tables, reading and writing of constants) and testing and debugging.
