2005-12-13 Thread Dan Shafer
Dave Short answer (and admittedly over-simplistic) is that Rev doesn't lend itself to MVC app design and construction. To do true MVC you need an object-oriented environment, which Rev decidedly is not. If you want to take the project you describe to MVC, I suggest you look at an MVC-based ap

Right now we have created a database in PostgreSQL that maps the dBase files as close as we can and have written a "conversion" program to create an "import" file to update these PostgreSQL tables with. We also have a set of "normalized" tables in the same PostgreSQL database and we "massage" t
