Can I make kmail and other applications which use kaddressbook use another
application instead? Can that other application be a dbms? Can I sync a palm
with a dbms?
Alternatively:
Can kaddressbook do complex queries ordinarily associated with a dbms?
Example: select * from master_table,addresses where master_table.id =
addresses.id and addresses.country_code = 033 and (type = "office" or type =
"priomary residence"); That code should work whether the address is that of
the person's business or main residence but not second residence or if the
code 033 occured in the zip code, since the zip code is entirely irrelevant
here (should I say the cedex, since 033 is France? ;-))
Presently it seems that I can search for country_code = 033 if it is a user
defined field, which is not set independently for each address, and is thus
useless to differentiate addresses. A full text search will also work, but be
fooled by a zip code of 033. Alternatively I can search in separate runs for
business_zip and for home_zip, however I can have only one home address, and
there is no room for second residences, forget about things like parents' and
in laws' addresses. Can this be fixed?
Also, how do I print labels from kaddressbook data? I assume kword. Is there
another way?
