Re: non-palm interfaces to DB

I've been ruminating on the creation of just such a thing.

Tom of course has a set of command line tools for converting csv + files
to DB binary format and back.

My thought was to take Tcl/Tk plus TkTable (a GUI extension providing a
spreadsheet like interface) and to wrap around Tom's commands so that
one could load the data into a spreadsheet (with perhaps a second window
displaying the out of band information like column names, types, etc.).
The tool would allow one to manipulate the data, then to generate a 
DB database from it.

Unfortunately, my time has been so limited that I've been unable to date
to begin the effort of writing the app.
