Abstract

This paper discusses the NIST SQL Database Loader; this utility takes a STEP file and populates SQL tables with instances of STEP entities. This document is intended as a programmer and user's guide. After reading Translating Express to SQL: a User's Guide, users may skip to the User's Manual section (section 5.0). Programmers should read the following prerequisite reading materials before this document: The NIST Working Form for STEP, The NIST STEP working Form Programmer's Reference, Translation of Express Schema into SQL, and Translating Express to SQL; a User's Guide. In addition, objects in the STEP working Form are tightly coupled with the Express Working Form; some familiarity with the latter will be assumed.
