I'm gathering data in the form of text (sometimes delimited) creating a dict
and then I would like to create a Dabo.DataSet and then have it display in
controls. I would also like to create filters based on 'dataset' (as in
select * from dataset where something=something). That's what I'm doing and
how Dabo could help.
First issue I don't know in advance what the structure will be - so how can I
define a bizobj. Once I have the data I know a little more info but not
enough to create a bizobj. The user decides how the text is broken into
parts. From my display I would then determine what I needed to do
(translate/change/add) to the text. After I do that I'll be able to define a
bizobj. But I'm not really updating a table and I don't have need of a
bizobj. The end result will be another text file. Most likely a file that
describes many bizobj's along with SQL statements etc..
