Hi,
I got the new Sharp Zaurus PDA which is running with Linux (!).
And the Sharp feels very comfortable with hsqldb.
The screen has only 240 x 320 pixel, so I decided to change the
layout of the DatabaseManager.
I separated the tree, command and result panels in a card layout, so
that every view is on its own and can be choosen by a three buttons
row above them.
To follow easier the development of hsqldb and especially the
DatabaseManager, I subclassed DatabaseManager and ConnectionDialog and
implemented there the methods
class ZDatabaseManager
+> connect ()
+> main ()
+> showUsage ()
+> main ()
+> keyTyped ()
+> actionPerformed ()
+> initGUI ()
class ZConnectionDialog
+> ZConnectionDialog ()
+> create ()
+> createConnection ()
Questions:
1. I ask for changing the method of DatabaseManager from
private void refreshTree() {}
to
protected void refreshTree() {}
so that the subclass ZDatabaseManager is able to inherit/access this
method.
2. If I finish my development and there are people who are interested in
this code, it could be brought into the general source code for
hsqldb. Is there any interest?
3. I packaged the necessary files for the Zaurus in an installation
(ipkg) file which includes
- a control-file for installation and de-installation,
- a starter script (i. e. the call of the JVM with
org.hsqldb.util.ZDatabaseManager)
- a so-called desktop file which contains some informations
about the application
- hsqldb.jar
- an icon file
For the last, I choosed the icon on the homepage of hsqldb
Would you be interested that this file could be downloaded from the
sourceforge hsqldb site? Otherwise, or additionally I could ask at
zaurus.sourceforge.net where somebody reserved 'hsqldb' but nothing is
released yet.
What kind of copyright text should I include in a README file?
4. The hsqldb.jar file I am working with (based on v170RC3) has
230.689 Bytes. Could anybody give me some instructions which classes
could be omitted from a jar file for the Zaurus (where memory is
smaller than on a desktop PC)?
Are there any other comments or suggestions?
And for the curious people I attach some screenshots of hsqldb on the
Zaurus. The last screenshot shows the result of the test script and a
time of 12,7 sec which is not bad ;-)
Regards,
Ulrich
