Gentry is the civilized way to enter data into a MySQL database.I wrote this progam as I was tired of typing "insert into table values (..." statements over and over and also wanted a chance to learn GTK.This program will connect to a database and tab

A new release of Gentry has just been released which adds support for datetime, timestamp, year and float data/column types. More development to come in the near future.
Added support for the following data/column types: # datetime # timestamp # float # year
This version now has autoconf/automake support to automatically detect the correct location/libraries for mysql.
Added autoconf/automake code to dynamically look for and configure Mysql libs and headers.
A new version has just been released. This one fixed a bug with the auto_increment primary key field in that if gentry was run against a table with no rows, it would segfault. This has been fixed.
Version 0.1.9 Added code to deal with empty table that has a auto_increment primary key. The problem circumvents this case as it was causing segfault when trying to get the max(id) from the table (which had 1 row with a NULL value).
I have just put together another release (yes, I know it has been too long since the last one) that adds: 1. support for the time datatype of Mysql. I was informed of this lack from a user that took the time to send feedback (Thanks! and nudge, nudge, wink, wink to the rest of you guys). 2. Code to support username and password via command line switches. The same database and table command line options are still support but there is now also a switch for each of these as well. Please test this out as I do not normally use a password to connect to my database so the more of you that run this through its paces, the better. Oh, the survey is now available in a text file called Survey in the tarball so please fill it out and send it in. Ed
