Hi Guys, It's been few months since I gave developer access to Massimo. These rights were given specifically to allow him to contribute SYNCH of fixes between CVS branches, as he volunteered to do. Not a single attempt to contribute such synch of fixes has been visible. Instead we get many posts of important news, and other recurring opinions, which I believe to be very important for the evolution of xHarbour. Because such posts and opinions are better posted on, comp.lang.xharbour, I decided to cancel Massimo's unused, developer access, until actual contribution is forwarded.

Can be a way for having a visual core with Form,Query,Report integrated with a real languages ? Can similar product be written in xharbour with a GUI? http://www.rekallrevealed.org/kbExec.py Rekall is a database front-end, somewhat in the style of MicroSoft Access(tm). However, Rekall is not itself a database, and does not include a database. By this we mean that data is stored somewhere else in an SQL server, and Rekall is fundementaly just a tool to extract, display and update that data (of course, it does lots more than that, it does forms and reports and scripting and .... you get the idea). It is database agnostic, and does not have any preferred database in the sense that Access(tm) uses the Jet. database engine (although the Windows version can use the Jet database engine via an ODBC driver). Rekall can do lots of the things that you would expect of a database front-end (or if it can't, let us know!). You can design and use forms and reports, you can construct database queries, and you can import and export data (actually, you can copy data, import is just copy file to table, and export is just copy table to file). You can also create reusable components which you can use in forms and reports, to reduce application development time. http://www.kexi-project.org/ Kexi is considered as a long awaited Open Source competitor for Microsoft Access, Filemaker and Oracle Forms. Its development is motivated by the lack of Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools for database systems that are sufficiently powerful, inexpensive, open standards driven and portable across many operating systems and hardware platforms. Kexi is an integrated data management application. It can be used for creating databases, inserting data, performing queries, and processing data. Forms can be created to provide a custom interface to your data. All database objects - tables, queries and forms - are stored in the database, making it easy to share data and design. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
