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? Al Input, Input, need more INPUT!!!! Note: I have copied that cocoapsql-developer list with this message. Please join at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cocoapsql-developer |

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 Input, Input, need more INPUT!!!! Note: I have copied that cocoapsql-developer list with this message.
