Re: Generic database management tool
That's an unfortunate restriction. When I started this project, Mozilla was still on the drawing board, and Netscape was definitely not able to do the job. Now it would just be a question of verifying all scripts for compatibility with Mozilla. I t is almost done actually. Mice are overrated. =) I use keyboard shortcuts all the time. You can use shortcuts when they helps, but most of the time with ODBCMyAdmin, you just drag'ndrop tables to create joins, you select fields in a table, etc. Shortcuts won't help. The great advantage is that you never have to type a table or column name, which you couldn't do with shortcuts either, and you never have a query that fails because of a spelling mistake. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: Generic database management tool
Is this a web-based tool? Sure: 100% You just install it on your server, preferabilly on your development server. For CF5, you just have a CFX to install, for CFMX you don't need. Presently I have tested it for - Access, - MySQL - Oracle, - MS SQLServer, - Sybase For Access, there is also a Compact database utility. I assumed so at first, but don't know how you'd tie that in with cfstudio. You don't actually need CFStudio to run it, just call its home page, but it it easy to tie any web site as a Custom Button in CFStudio. It is just that I'always used CFStudio, and I'm still waiting to see any better product (call it Homesite if you like). I've tried CFEclipse, but CFStudio eclipses it ;-) Of course, I never tried to extend studio, didn't know you could. See Options - Customized - Add Custom Button,... I sorta lost interest when it became homesite, not sure why exactly. Actually, when it was first released by Ipswitch Inc. it was Homesite. Then Allaire bought the product. add the CF stuff in it, and called it CF Studio. Then Macromedia bought Allaire, may be they found that the name CFStudio was too much tied to CF, and it would outshine their own editor Dreamweaver, so they rebaptised it Homesite, but it is essentially the same product. Didn't cf deserve it's own editor? It sure does, and for me it has always been CFStudio! ;-) If'n yers is web-enabled, Got any screen shots? Not that I know French...

Re: Generic database management tool
If it's not out there, I'll make one somehow, I guess. dhtmlgoodies looks like it's got stuff to fit the bill, UI wise. If you haven't already, I'd take a look at dojo... http://dojotoolkit.org/ If I was going to do some intense AJAX/DHTML work, I'd look at using one of these toolkits (like dojo, or the one you previously mentioned...rico) rather than random scripts from something like dhtmlgoodies. I'm already a little dubious about using intense amounts of javascript processing in my pages (and the memory usage and crashes that I've seen with various AJAX calendars running at the same time as gmail seem to validate that). I feel like these toolkit projects are probably more attuned to performance and stability issues, as they are being used for some fairly intense apps...whereas a cobbled together group of scripts might have unintended consequences. -- Jim Wright Wright Business Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919-417-2257 ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:242291 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Or do you want a tool that you can point at an existing database that will examine its schema and give you a forms interface to it? Neither...assume the database is created, and I want a quick way to put up a form to edit a particular table. Right now, I have some scripts where I can define in a configuration file -the table I want to edit -a list of fields that should be shown in the list view -the fields that should be edited in the form view, and what type of field each is (which determines what type of form control to use, and simple validation) -labels that should be used for the fields above So then it provides and easy and quick interface to manage a table. This is usually used in the admin section of my homegrown CMS to manage tables which don't need much in the way of a pretty interface, but just need a quick and dirty way to edit data. I was planning on modifying this to include things like: -more complicated validation -sorting and filtering of the list view -paging through n records in the list view But I wanted to find out if anyone knew of anything similar out there, as I don't want to reinvent the wheel. -- Jim Wright Wright Business Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919-417-2257 ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:242108 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

I just whipped up something like this using the livegrid demo from openrico. I'm really loving that livegrid. The live search is really handy, and colum sorting etc.. Plus it does a nice fade from the list to the record. Heh. Gotta love those transitions. And it saves via ajax!

Really that's all I was trying out, the rest is pretty weak, but if you'd like to combine them (assuming you wrote the thing you're using), I can replace your list code with a livegrid, which is pretty slick. The livegrid is still in beta, and does leak memory, but I've found it takes a really long time to crash a browser, and it's handy enough I don't mind it one bit. Haven't checked openrico or the new 2.0 version, so maybe the memory issue has been addressed since I started playing with it. At any rate, woot! for more interactive stuff. :d ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:242178 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: Generic database management tool
Is anyone out there using any kind of generic database management scripts. I have something like that presently on the back burner. It is called ODBCMyAdmin, although the name might change since is also handles JDBC databases now. The basic idea is PHPMyAdmin, although more powerful, written in CF and can handle any ODBC or JDBC datasource. The main features are: - All writen in CF and Javascript, compatible with IE. - 100% compatible CF 5 and CFMX, ODBC and JDBC; - all tables and column names drown from the datasource itself: no name to type; - can produce CFQUERY code for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE DELETE on any table; - can generate CFQURYPARAM automatically, based on column types on request; - can produce a FORM using any fields on any table; some fields may be SELECT with options generated from any other table; all field length and maxlength suggested by default from info from the table specs in the datasource. - advanced query buider à la Access, with all types of JOINS, GROUP, WHERE, HAVING etc. clauses; even UNIONs are supported (not in Access) - Browse all tables, columns, queries; - direct acces to the tool from CF Studio; ALL above without using any key on your keyboard, only the mouse. - add, edit, delete columns in any table; - add, edit, delete indexes in any table; - add, edit, delete tables in any datasource; - and of course much more ! ;-) I use it a lot for myself; my only problem before I can release it are 1º time to finish testing and document it; 2º some native speaking fellow, fluent in French, who would help me with the docs and online help. May be some work for long nights, next winter... -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: Generic database management tool
There is also a cfmyadmin. I don/t remember the addy, but if you google cfmyadmin, you will find it. It's basically the cf version of phpmyadmin Eric -Original Message- From: Claude Schneegans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 02 June 2006 20:54 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Generic database management tool Is anyone out there using any kind of generic database management scripts.

That's an unfortunate restriction. - direct acces to the tool from CF Studio; CF What? ;) ALL above without using any key on your keyboard, only the mouse. Mice are overrated. =) I use keyboard shortcuts all the time. I'll probably use one to send this message rather than click Send. - add, edit, delete columns in any table; - add, edit, delete indexes in any table; - add, edit, delete tables in any datasource; That's where the generic part gets hard because of the differences in column types from database to database. It's hard to be generic and yet more powerful. May be some work for long nights, next winter... All things considered, I'd still like to see it when and if you do get around to releasing it.
