If I were you I'd think of each grid as a regular, hierarchical notetaking program like Mybase, Texnotes, whatever...where the outliner is the tree and the HTML pane is where the note goes.-superboyac (December 16, 2007, 10:13 PM)
PPL, since I started using SQL, I've created a few test files. But now I want to combine the data in those files into one main file. How can I import grids (and the data inside the grids) from one file to another?I was waiting for that one. You can't right now.-superboyac (December 16, 2007, 09:55 PM)

OK, cards on the table - I was in the same boat as Jim, but hadn't posted/contacted you to that effectAnd there is nothing like a live phone call to get you going. The offer holds for everyone! Just ask superboyac (and numerous others at www.sqlnotes.net) if that was useful. [email protected]- your instructions to him above have enabled me to start using SQLNotes
I'll try to be a productive member of the beta team from now on!-Darwin (December 16, 2007, 02:27 PM)
Pierre, what exactly do you mean when you say free while it's in beta? Do beta users get some sort of discount? And do you have a price range in mind?
Ive tried an early beta some time ago but havent had the chance to fully test it. But a big feature i look for in a note taking software is portability. Does it already have, or is this planned?-JaneDC (December 16, 2007, 11:37 AM)
Wow! Just installed the latest beta - looks pretty powerful.Hi Jim,
Shame I have no earthly idea what I am doing with it, though. Create a new field and all I can do with it is give it a name and say it's text or number, etc. Field length? Can't find where they're assigned & I just searched for it for an hour. I read through the entire thread and see that no one else has questions like that.
I think I'm not ready for this one.-J-Mac (December 16, 2007, 02:53 AM)
Here's an idea for searching in SQLNotes. It may be asking a lot, I don't know how hard or easy it would be to implement, but it's just something I thought of:
I keep thinking about EverNote and how I still want to continue using it despite the power that is available in SN. And it keeps going back to one thing: it's just so easy and so fast to find something ESPECIALLY when you have no idea where to look. So, i was thinking that it would be nice if SN had a special "search" module or window. Inside this search window would be a complete list of all the data inside the database, unabridged, with all the fields and everything. Just a massive, unorganized view of the entire database. Then there would be on search box (like evernote), and you just go in it and begin typing what you're looking for, and as you type the list gets shorter and shorter until you find what you're looking for. I can go into more detail, but that's the basic idea.-superboyac (December 14, 2007, 11:58 AM)
Carol: some 32-bit software might break, but I haven't seen that myself.-f0dder (November 24, 2007, 07:11 PM)
PPL, will SQLNotes have any slowdown as the database grows larger?
I've noticed this with a lot of notetaking programs. The speed of SQL is pretty good right now, and it's important that it doesn't slow down significantly because the program's power and flexibility is suited for keeping large databases in it. Will SQL support storing additional content in the future, like displaying pictures and so forth, because things like that cause slowdowns.-superboyac (December 13, 2007, 12:17 PM)
I see that Wikipedia mentions the slowness of Tiddly Wiki based programs, which is likely to be especially troublesome in Mozilla-based browsers. I'm interested, but slow I don't need. I'll be following this thread to see what kind of experience others have.Tiddly Wikis are javascript and (generally) XML based. Since they don't use a database to store the content (unlike real Wikis), they don't scale very well. They'll work fine at first, but will get slower and slower as it grows.-melitabel (December 13, 2007, 09:23 AM)
All paid versions and all better at some things than the others, but none that seem to do it all well.Would you care to share what are the relative weaknesses of each of these 3 ?
Someday I'll find that perfect note-taker!-J-Mac (December 13, 2007, 02:02 AM)
Well, sounds like you're working on it as fast as possible. I bought Calendarscope last night anyway. It's the best calendar ever.Good for you. You'll be able to feed me with great ideas for the SQLNotes calendar-superboyac (December 12, 2007, 10:12 AM)
Date selector: I don't like the one that is bundled. Will most likely use a different oneI checked and...: the date selector can be color coded and the Day bar can be customized
Day bar height: I'll check on that. [edit] The Office 2000/2003 themes are nicer for that aspect-PPLandry (December 11, 2007, 11:50 AM)
PPL, I was recently thinking about buying a calendar software. But since SN is going to have it, I may hold off on it. Do you think you can give a sneak preview screenshot of it for us here?There is a demo in the download area of www.sqlnotes.net (an Outlook UI-like). An Ecco-like grid calendar is also coming-superboyac (December 11, 2007, 10:08 AM)
