[binarycloud-dev] Creating a database

[Gerry K. <ge...@mc...>]

Ok, I'm making some progress using bc. Thanks for the suggestions on getting 
started. I have some more questions:

1. What is the process to set up a database? My understanding is the database is 
created using Metabase and a schema.xml file. Where is the code that does the 
actual database creation? Do I have to build that?

2. Authorization uses a bc table to check user's credentials. How does this table 
get created?

3. Let's say I want to create an admin page to maintain tables in a database. The 
admin page is set up in a grid, with each cell containing the markup to maintain 
one table. I did this before by using one PHP page that posts to itself, checking 
to see what submit button is pressed. Based on that, a record may get added, 
deleted, or modified.

Using bc, how might this be implemented, in terms of modules, layouts and 
templates?

4. I am a little confused about the difference between a layout and a template.

TIA,
Gerry
