Title: Re: [REBOL] database testing
Hi 8)
well this is a fast one:
www.valentina.com
some ODBC:
PrimeBase -> www.snap.de
OpenBase -> www.openbase.com
FrontBase -> www.frontbase.com
ODBC is good for existing solutions, but
because rebol is something new wouldn't be a good idea
to integrate a new power database with rebol commands?
valentina is totally applescript-able and would be a good companion
for rebol.
Websiphon ( www.purity.com ) is a good scripting language but their
own database ( Verona ) is a flat one. They freshly relesed
WebSyphon Enterprise which communicate with ODBC db.
Also, on the Macintosh platform a lot of people is using
Lasso ( www.blueworld.com ) .They all used to use it with Filemaker
but now a lot are not happy with new Filemaker 5 upgrade price, performance
and policy, so they're looking for other slutions, most turn to PrimeBase.
I personally use Lasso and find it not bad, I'm not expert but rebol
syntax in comparison is much much friendly.
The problem with Lasso is that the code is written inbetween HTML source,
so it is quite long to modify or change webpages, in this way the
WebObject approch is much better. Exemple :
Adobe Golive is a very cool HTML editor if I design a page in layout mode
and then go to source mode to add my lasso code, I wouldn't be able to
go back to layout mode as it will garbage my Lasso code.
I think there should be plugins for every language and to work with layers
like in photoshop. This is the webobject approach, you design your page
in layout mode, for every HTML page you have another file which contain
the webobject code, and in the HTML you just link that code with special tags.
Sorry for the english 8))
