StFmsDbMaker is the interface between the STAR FMS database and user makers. It provides access methods to all FPD/FMS related data in the STAR database such as mapping and calibration. (currently only at /star/u/jgma/psudisk/fms/StRoot/StFmsDbMaker) Small chain to test : root4star -q -b /star/u/jgma/psudisk/fms/mudst.C. The following is a list of functions provided by StFmsDbMaker. Please refer to the source code under CVS for details (will be checked in to CVS after peer review.).

How to use it in user maker

#include "StFmsDbMaker/StFmsDbMaker.h"

Then use the global pointer to get access to all the FMS db table information by the methods above. For example to dump one table to a text file:

gStFmsDbMaker->dumpFmsChannelGeometry("ttest.txt");

To get a pointer to the channel geometry table:

fmsChannelGeometry_st *channelgeometry = gStFmsDbMaker->ChannelGeometry();

In your macro you'll need to load the .so files and create maker instances in the chain:

gSystem->Load("StDbBroker.so");
gSystem->Load("St_db_Maker.so");
gSystem->Load("StFmsDbMaker.so");

cout << "Setting up chain" << endl;
StChain* chain = new StChain;

cout << "Setting up St_db_Maker" << endl;
St_db_Maker* dbMaker = new St_db_Maker("db", "MySQL:StarDb", "$STAR/StarDb");
dbMaker->SetDEBUG();
dbMaker->SetDateTime(20090601, 0);

cout << "Setting up StFmsDbMaker" << endl;
StFmsDbMaker* fmsdb = new StFmsDbMaker("fmsdbmaker");
fmsdb->setDebug(1);

//Then your makers...

Please pay attention to the SetDateTime option, it sets the timestamp so the data extracted from the db will be corresponding to this time stamp. Please refer to Dmitry's page for more information about time stamp.
