yes, basically the same idea, though as far as I can see your implentation
suggestion seems not possible ("Add New Items. Need Listeners"): although I'd
like to see every API available to OOo Basic users, in the current state this
is possible only with UNO components, and OOo Basic cannot implement those.
Back to your picture, and the idea of openning the db objects (tables, forms,
reports, queries) inside the app. window, instead of a new separate one:
before someone comes and says "just like MS Access 2007 does, even better than
previous versions", it's good to notice that the db application in the KDE
office suite (Kexi) does so, in a way I find very useful: every element in a
tab
window inside the main appl. window.
Although I generally don't like KOffice nor Kexi, they have some good ideas;
and
besides, why has always to be MSAccess the point of reference? ... oh I
forgot, because of "corporate America", as someone said here.
We all know there are very good GUI application to take ideas from, even HSQL
has a gui that let's you execute both statements that return a result set and
those that not, and shows you the table schema in a tree-like way: a good idea
to replace the modal dialog in Tools - SQL.
