Data Design Limits

[dilwyn]

 
As tofro wrote in another message, SQLite is written in C (correct, verified in Wikipedia), I THINK it should be possible to convert it to the QL with C68 or at least with the GCC QL cross compiler. Than we would have a real SQL database. Someone must of course write machine code SuperBASIC extensions, to access it.

It could be a nice idea, as soon as you are done send me the software to test

One of those things that's easy to suggest. Not quite so easy in practice I think.
Would love to be proved wrong.

Nice work inserting a million records into Data Design. Long time since I last used this software.

I have done some research on the forum but found very few messages, so I thought it wasn't used by anyone.

I actually only know one program that uses the Datadesign engine, namely "Agenda" by Wolfgang Lenerz. It's a calendar program that lets you manage your appointments.

Interesting!, I've never seen it. Where can I download it?

You'd have to ask Wolfgang personally; he hasn't released it as free software yet.

I prefer Dilwyn's QDiary, though; I find it more intuitive to use. It also saves everything in a text file, which I found much easier to import from other programs. I have exported my Google calendar in a CSV file, changed a few things and put that in the text file of QDiary. And voilá, all is there, what is easier?

In my opinion, you don't need a database, but that's a matter of taste.

Hello
i am working the last 25 years with dd files with 600+ entries
the dd front end is imho just bit clumsy so i did make my own

data_design.zip

Greetings from Switzerland
Markus

Can you explain to me what that zip file you attached is?

Ciao Giorgio

inside are two programs with source using the DataDesign API in BASIC
using menu_rext and easy pointer
the programs should run with SMSQE and Minerva/PE
tarif is a price database with 600+ entries
adr is a address database
sys holds the required toolkits
boot loads the missing extesions
read_me _txt explains a litte bit more

hope it helps
Markus

It's always nice to see such "in-house" programs. They often have some really good stuff.
