Hi André,
form element themselves are changing based upon data that is received
Forms have a number of fields defined in the db, UI-controls are
defined in the db, even the validation restrictions will be defined in
the db. So this is highly dynamical system.
Basically the administrator has tools to create form (and other) types,
tools to create instances based on those types and tools for creating
hierarcial structure.
So a form type or an instance of it can be constructed of any number of
different elements. There is no theoretical limit for the number of
different form types.

Hi Mika,
not sure if I completely understood your question. By stating "my
forms are created dynamically based on data in database" you mean to
say that form elements values constitute the dynamical aspect of the
form (thus the data) or do you mean to say the form element
themselves
are changing based upon data that is received. Thus, suppose you
would
be dealing with a form for car information. The form has e.g. form
element for entering the license plate number. This form element
could
be say a simple input form element of type text for one set of data,
while for another data set the same input is now an text area?
Best,
André

Hi,
what is the right and the proper way of inserting form data to
database table (PostgreSQL)?
What makes this more "interesting" is that instead of horizontal
data
in table, the data is stored in a vertical manner because of the
highly dynamic nature of the application and the relation model.
That
is, my forms are created dynamically based on data in database. In
the
same way, the values shoud be stored vertically, because the the
table
structure would otherwise have to vary based on form types and
eventually I would have hundreds of different tables.
I have done some testing with XSP and ESQL in order to retrieve my
forms. That works fine, although if I have understood right, XSPs'
aren't recommended to use, am I right?
But now I would have to insert form values to another table
vertically (different columns for different datatypes). How should
I
approahce the challenge? Any thoughts?
Sorry if I am asking entirely obvious questions. I don't have such
a
long experience with the Cocoon. Testing things now with the 2.11
and
am going to shift to 2.2, even 3.0 some day later or sooner. Also
coming more from .NET side.. forgive me..
