This sounds like something you would want to do with a CGI script or backend process that returns query results as XML or JSON. You could embed a multipurpose script that would be run locally or remotely against a sqlite or any other DB(configurable) in the documentation for a tiddler plug-in. Or you could promote your favorite web back end by making it specific to your favorite web environment.

I'm wondering if JQuery has changed that situation or not. I'm looking for a way to access files (primarily pdf's and mutlipage tiff's). The files are indexed in a database. I'd like to query the indexing table and access relevant files via a web browser, rather than through the UI that sits on top of the database. If TW just isn't suited for such a task, then I guess I'll have to look for some other alternative. My goal can best be summed up by a statement I read that was posted by Eric Shulman a few years ago: "database driven dynamic tiddler content... yum." ~Roger --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
