= 	Melissa Name Object API for Windows	 =
==================================================

*DISCLAIMER*
================
We do not support 32-bit versions of SQL Server due to memory constraints

Prerequisite
====================
This sample is intended for use after the installation of Name Object. It requires that 
the Name Object is registered and the Data Files installed. If you did not install the Data Files
to its default directory, you will have to change the Data File Path in the sample code to point it
to the correct directory. The Data Files Directory must contain the following files: mdName.dat and
mdName.cfg.

Demo Mode
===============
Please contact your sales representative to obtain a free 30-day license to use Name Object.  After
30 days, the Object must be purchased before continued usage. Please call 1-800-MELISSA ext. 3 for
more information.

SQL Server/Windows Sample Scripts
=================================
The sample scripts were built for versions of SQL Server 2000 and higher. 

Installation
============
To use the mdName Extended Stored Procedures (XPs) and/or User Defined 
Functions (UDFs), you must first install the API. To do so, follow these steps:

 1 Copy mdName.dll into SQL Server's Binn folder. This is usually located in
   /Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/90/Tools/Binn. If you are replacing an
   existing copy of this file, you MUST stop SQL Server before doing so, or the
   file will not be properly copied. Be sure to use the proper version of the
   DLL depending on your version of SQL Server.
 2 Run the xp_mdName.sql script. This will add the mdName Extended Stored
   Procedures to SQL Server.
 3 Run the UDF_mdName.sql script. This will add the mdName User Defined
   Functions to SQL Server.

Running the Sample Script
=========================
If you'd like to run the example script with our sample data, create a new
database called mdName. Then run the CreateNameTable.sql script to create and
populate a table called mdName.

Once you have created this new table, you can run the sample script 
mdNameExample.sql.
