[Cocoapsql-developer] Improvement ideas

[Al K. <al...@ki...>]

Hi all.

When I originally conceived how cocoapsql might work, I thought that the 
SQL queries themselves should be objects. That was the idea of the 
history window above the query line. I wanted the queries which would 
appear in the history window to be individually  clickable, like a url, 
and then have that query replace anything that might be in the main 
query window. There should also be an option to save the queries into a 
list accessible through a pull down menu, kind of like favorites might 
be in a browser.

Any comments on this?

Hi Ted.
Regarding the C++ question, my first guess is that it would be better to 
stick with the standard libpq.a as the interface into postgres. My 
reasoning is:
-Tried and true, simple interface for connecting to postgres.
-Part of this project (being developed separately at this time) is to 
objectify access to the database and build an objective-c interface into 
postgress. I am almost ready to add some of this work to the source 
tree. It will provide data update ability from the tableview. To do this 
we need a simple consistent interface into the database -- libpq.a.
-We should be able to port this project to work with other databases, as 
such we should stay with the least common denominator as far as our 
database interface goes. libpq defines what many would consider a fairly 
standard interface into postgres. Many other databases use similar 
interfaces so porting should not be TOOOOO complex.

See ya, Al
