In general, you want to have a dabo application instance no matter what.
However, it should be possible to run your app without it if you really
want to.
Yes, you can use a bizobj without adding it to a form.
Here's a rough idea of what you'd need:
{{{
import dabo
import myBizobjs
con = dabo.db.dConnection(connectInfoDict)
biz = myBizobjs.MyBizobj(con)
}}}
Now, just call methods of the bizobj to get what you want. Such as:
{{{
biz.UserSQL = "select * from customers"
biz.requery()
biz.last()
print biz.RowNumber, biz.RowCount
}}}
I think if you have no UI, you don't ever need nor want to call app.start().
