TEST database

Dear all,

Last week, I have installed a test database on test-whois.ripe.net. This
database is intended for people who want to play around with some test
database objects and to learn how the RIPE database works.


Updates should be send to:

<testdb at ripe.net>


Do queries with:

whois -h test-whois.ripe.net SearchString


The creation of maintainers is allowed for everybody for your (and my)
convenience but the software will warn you that maintainer creation is
normally done by human intervention.

It is possible to update two different databases with source names:

source: TEST

OR 

source: TEST2


Of course, I might use this database for some tests I do myself with the
database software so don't be surprised to see some new features
that are not present in the production database,

Kind regards,

David Kessens
RIPE NCC Database maintainer
