This project is an exploration of data in Domino databases leveraging Domino Query Language.
## Quickstart
If you are here to try out DQL Explorer, learn about DQL and just want to get started... then:

Preparation:
1. Download the dqlexplorer.nsf
2. Deploy it to a Domino 10.0.1 Server (into the data directory root, not a sub directory for now)
3. Sign the database with your signer ID, you can use the server id for instance.
4. Set an appropiate ACL - as the database allows to create and store DQL queries, you want to define some users with Author access.
5. Access the database with a browser: https://<domino_server_url>/dqlexplorer.nsf/index.html
6. DQL Explorer is just a gateway to access other databases data. So you now need to have DQL Explorer list some databases you want to use.
7. As of now, DQL requires that you issue these commands on the Domino console:
load updall <database> -e
load updall <database> -d

Now you are ready to create your first DQL Query. As an example we want to use names.nsf

1. Add names.nsf to the listed databases
2. load updall names.nsf -e
3. load updall names.nsf -d
4. Define your query
5. Run your query
