Jeff, Got ya'. Our software is business applications and have a tendency to be a bit complex, reflecting the needs of our med range clients. Also speaks to heavy database requirements, and in many cases linking back to legacy systems.
Not for everyone, but works really well for us. As to the db side. When you install the application it "walks" you through an installation setup that creates the database and populates all the tables and default data. All the other data base create is through normal application maintenance, e.g. setting up users, catalogs, products, etc. So you never have to actually go to the DB any other way. We also have a facility for Custom Queries so you can write your own sql query and upload it into the application and then run thru the application. So no other DB access is needed.
