kdb installed in $HOME/k/db (c:/k/db on windows).
 see k/db/readme.txt for documentation and release notes

a sample database server has been started.
 to restart run: k db trade.t -P 2080 -p 2001 -D

there is a kdb debug console: ksql> (\\ to exit)
and the administrator's kdb viewer(-D)
 listening for http(-P) on port 2080
 for kdbc/jdbc/odbc(-p) on port 2001

queries can be executed from the console, e.g. 
 ksql>select sum amount by stock from trade

from the kdb viewer or from a browser, i.e.
 http://localhost:2080

for example, a ksql 3-way join 2-dimensional aggregation:

"select sum amount by stock.industry, date.month from trade"

 1. radio select 'trade'
 2. clickdown 'select' then 'sum' then 'sum amount'
 3. clickdown 'by' then 'stock' then 'stock.industry'
 4. clickdown 'by' then 'date' then 'date.month'
 5. click 'go'

 in the kdb viewer foreign keys are red
 and primary keys have gray background.
 click column label to sort ascending(<)
 click label again to sort descending(>)

excel2000 can access kdb with http:
 click data/getexternaldata/newwebquery then type
  http://localhost:2080/?select sum amount by stock from trade
 click OK

or with odbc:
 data/getexternaldata/newdatabasequery
  _kdb then enter localhost:2001
 click OK

http clients require no code.
jdbc/odbc clients require the kdb drivers.
