I can write to single tables, not those with relation active. I'll try to
explain again...
My Library "Libros" table (simplified) is shown like this:
Title Author_nm
- ------------------ ---------
Robots and Empire 1
Rendezvous with Rama 2
I can create a new entry, but I have to look up manually the number of the
corresponding author, and write up the number, not the name. Do you
see what I mean?
This is useless.
I can create a table view, that combines two tables, like this:
Books Authors
------- ---------
Book_ID +---> Author_ID
Title | Author
Author_ID -+
Now, the view shows correctly:
Title Author
- ------------------ ---------
Robots and Empire Asimov
Rendezvous with Rama Clarke
But it is Read Only. Again, useless.
Do you understand the problem now?
All the above works perfectly, and much faster and with less complexity,
with Rekall.
