What is Quest? |
Quest is both a Database and Input tool that currently stores the IBM PC Company Helpcenter technical documents. The database is a DB/2 database set up more closely to a true relational database than Quest's predecasor Lotus Notes. This relational power makes it easier for DBAs to manipulate the data and Data Managment officers to input the data. All of the data is exported to the web so that everyone from home customers to dealers can get help on specific items.
The Input Tools is written in %100 Java. This makes it extrememly portable so that documents can be created on AIX and edited on Windows NT. The user interface is exactly the same on all platforms so switching between platforms is not the headache it was before.
