In conjunction with the 25th RIPE Meeting to be held at the Nikhef 
Institute in Amsterdam, the RIPE NCC will hold a workshop in which the 
features of the new release of the RIPE Database package will be 
introduced. The workshop will be held at the RIPE meeting location. 
Topics to be covered in the workshop include:

	+ Hierarchical authorization

	+ Automatic NIC-handle mechanism

	+ Role objects 

	+ Classless update and lookup mechanisms

	+ Reverse lookup of objects

	+ Near real time mirroring


Where applicable, examples will be used to illustrate how the features
above can best be employed. Common questions regarding the use of 
each feature will also be discussed. Time will be reserved to address
the questions of workshop attendees. 

The test database will be set up during the meeting with the examples
covered in the workshop. Attendees can try things out during the 
RIPE meeting, and address any questions that may arise to RIPE NCC 
database support staff.

Note that the content of the workshop is distinct from that of the 
Database WG meeting. The workshop will be of a tutorial nature 
describing how to work with the new database features.  Priorities 
for further developments will be addressed in the WG as always.
