I'm attaching a tar that contains an excerpt of the code that I was 
using to do my dataAccess performance tests for the ICALEPCS 2001 paper.
Note that this is code from 2001, so it is for the April 2001 version of 
dataAccess and has to be adapted for the current version to compile and 
work.

Is this the kind of example code that you are looking for?

This of course is pure dataAccess - I don't have anything working for 
the new CA client interface - this was not existing in 2001.

Want more? Well, the complete test code (with all the other classes for 
other type data, including arrays, strings, sub-containers) has been in 
the obviously named "testApp" directory of the dataAccess tree in the 
APS CVS repository for more than four years now. How stupid of me! I was 
always assuming that you know this code, so maybe that explains part of 
my not understanding your demand for example code at all. I'm sorry.

The dataAccess tree in CVS also contains a thin library layer to put a 
dataAccess interface to the existing V3 Database ("daApp/dadb"). This 
had been tested except for the array type, which was still buggy when I 
left the APS end of April 2001. Same note about working with 2001 
version dataAccess only applies to that library.

If you want me to tar up the complete APS repository to send it to you 
by mail, just let me know ... ;-)
