Hi,
for the Base application help it would be very helpful to have a sample
database with some sample records. Help steps can then refer to those
tables.
Currently, every Base help text needs to start with something like
"imagine you have a database with the following structure... and there
are fields with the following names ... and you have defined a query
like this ...". This makes writing short how-to-do steps really annoying
(and may be the main reason why there aren't any such short and quick
guides)
I entered the discussion a little bit late, sorry about that.
I'm developing a Patients Records Database with OOo and MySQL as an
engine. It's pretty usable right now, I use it at my office every day.
It's GPL'ed and you can find it at http://mobi-doc.com.
Unfortunately the whole thing is based on a Greek Translation of ICD10
codes and all the forms are in Greek (even the documentation). Maybe if
someone could provide an English ICD10 database, I can translate it in
English.
Back in 2000 I used the Greek translation of the WHO book, to pass every
single code to a paradox database, using scripts where was possible, it
took me 3 years and I won't do it again...
Another thing is scripting. I use a lot of it, even unpublished
interfaces. In some cases I found some tricks to overcome Base's
limitations (like multi-table subform read-only status).
