General Software Discussion / Re: SQLNotes...what is it exactly?
« on: June 23, 2008, 08:17 AM »
It occurs to me that perhaps I totally misunderstand SQLNotes and the concept of a grid. I have been thinking of the grid as a separate data table.
But more reflection on my part plus that long list of fields in the "field management" dialog now suggest to me that there is actually only one table in each file!
Is each SQLNotes file intended to be a single "flat" data file (table) with each grid being just a defined view into that one table of data? I hope not. Such an approach is very limiting.
Perhaps your goal is to emulate MS Project, which has (or used to have) that architecture.
I mean no harm. SQLNotes is beautifully implemented.
