Hi All, Some time ago Michal Rudolf did some work with Kommander and wrote a plugin for the hk_classes database plugin Knoda uses. This enables direct access to a number of databases including MySql and PostgreSql. I have tried both Knoda and Kexi and with respect to my friend we hung out with who heads up Kexi Knoda has been stable longer and just felt right. Kexi seemed more like an Access clone, although a plugin could be written for it too. I'm also thinking of having Andras write plugins for several of the data aware widgets like the grid, date combo and others. You can access report printing from the command line already. Anyway... I had written a dialog for use withing Quanta. The idea was that you could connect to a database and use this tool to assist you in writing SQL by acessing table and field lists as well as using SQL templates you create to make writing SQL faster and error free. It uses substitution like "[table]" for the table name in the templates and can be user defined. Of course the whole dialog can be easily extended or customized too using Kommander's point and click interface. This leads to my question... Due to a weird bug on my system that crashed hk_classes and just being busy and distracted I have not worked with this dialog for a while. Looking at it I see some things I thought were broken are actually just quirks of the paradigm limitations of the tools. In other words before I release it I need to test it. Is anyone interested in testing and debugging a tool like this? You will need a newer version of Kommander and the plugin as well as the dialog. When called from a toolbar in Quanta it will output text directly at the cursor. If you are interested please respond here. -- Eric Laffoon - Quanta+ Team Leader http://quanta.kdewebdev.org _______________________________________________ Quanta mailing list Quanta@mail.kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/quanta
