The restaurant admin that Christophe wrote can also give you some ideas.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Simple Database Access

 

I don't know of any good examples.  I think Christophe created a mySQL
Admin tool that might have some good info in it:
http://coenraets.com/viewarticle.jsp?articleId=88

It is a "devil in the details" situation. One query or other transaction
is easy, but full, real-world solutions are tough.

The issue is complicated by the necessity for a middle tier.  While
sending sql statements is frowned upon for various reasons, the easiest
thing you can do is create a sql pass-through middle tier url.  Ours is
a simple aspx page that requires dbserver, database, user and password,
and sql request arguments.

This allows for ad-hoc queries, and let us do more complex stuff via
stored procedures. It wraps any results in a root tag, so FOR XML AUTO
queries are always valid in Flex.  I can stay in Flex and in the
database, and don't need to mess with the middle tier.

Tightly coupling a data access tier to the flex app is doubtless better,
but will be very messy for anything but trivial work.

If you are dealing with SQL server and have some gurus that know about
things like "updategrams" and stuff you job might get easier.

I am still trying to figure out a way to do generic db maintenance, but
without success so far

Are there any examples or tutorials yet for a simple database front
end, allowing single record viewing, first/previous/next/last
browsing, editing, adding and deleting?  I don't want to reinvent the
wheel, but if one doesn't exist I'll start making one.
