Tieout

One of my earliest open source attempts and probably the one of the lowest quality. It’s included here for completeness, if not nostalgia. Tieout was originally conceived because there was a set of OLAP cubes that had the same data as a relational database, even at upper-level members. So the theory was, what if we could parameterize queries with the same variables and issue them to the source database (via JDBC) and to Essbase (via Essbase/MDX) and compare the results? Tieout was born. It’s a bit esoteric but there might be something for someone in here.

It hasn’t been touched since August 2009, and it’s kept here as a historical record. Licensed under GPLv3.

The original repository also carried a lib/ folder of third-party jars: Oracle’s Essbase Java API, IBM’s DB2 and Microsoft’s SQL Server JDBC drivers, JDOM and Commons CLI. Most of those aren’t mine to redistribute, so the folder is left out; the Eclipse .classpath in the zip still lists them.

Tieout was originally hosted on Google Code, which closed in 2016. Its archive still has the project’s commit history.
