TW is a kind of database and is capable of creating, manipulating, deleting and searching its *store* of tiddlers. One can create database kind of records in a tiddlywiki too, along with form based interfaces. I have done this using InlineJavascriptPlugin by Eric Shulman. In fact using custom fields I have used the "foreign key" concept too.
Right here in the group there is an application being discussed by the name of "Tiddle", which is built for searching through a number of TW files. Maybe it could provide come pointers towards your specific needs. -shavinder On Oct 30, 7:33 am, roger <[email protected]> wrote: > Based on a brief review of previous posts I got the impression that > using TW as a tool to query an ODBC database wasn't really very > feasible.
