[PHPMyEdit-Discuss] Introduction

[Alex M. <al...@OW...>]

Hi folks,

I've only just started with PHP and phpMyEdit but since I am fairly 
experienced building web applications with perl, Java, and C++ I thought I 
ought to introduce myself and explain my interest in phpMyEdit

I'm finding that companies often want simple database applications which 
they don't want to pay much for.
To satisfy them I need to produce such database applications as swiftly and 
easily as possible.
Since the task of providing a web interface for listing records, creating 
new records, and editing existing ones is rather common and rather boring 
I've been looking for some kind of code generator like phpMyEdit.

Can anyone point me at projects similar to phpMyEdit and tell me why I 
should be using phpMyEdit and not anything else?

There seems to be something called phpMyAccess in SourceForge which has 
zero activity. Is it worth considering?

There doesn't seem to be a lot of traffic on this mailing list? Why isn't 
this project far more popular if it does what it is supposed to do?

Does phpMyEdit cope with complicated data types, enumerated data types such 
as reference datatypes?

Can I easily edit the code which phpMyEdit generates and still have those 
changes if I need to change the database schema?


Cheers
