May I can create a > different backend for an existing web-based UI system? It can a little, though it's not supported functionality, and there's no UI for some of it. The main issue is that Glom does not want to worry about all the many possible features of the backend database. Glom is simple by only supporting simple stuff. -- murrayc@... www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ glom-devel-list mailing list glom-devel-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/glom-devel-list

Well, you can create a simple .glom file (for instance, by copying an existing one and changing the database name in it), open it and add tables. When you add a table that already exists on the server, Glom will ask you if you want to use it. I've used that to test a very large database. The creation of the .glom (XML) file could be scripted quite easily with a libgda or pygda program, I guess. It might work. If it doesn't, we'd welcome patches. But I don't have time to work on this feature personally. Glom won't know anything about the relations - or can you suggest how it could discover them via libgda. -- murrayc@... www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ glom-devel-list mailing list glom-devel-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/glom-devel-list
