Hi,<br>
thanks for this awesome database !<br>
<br>
Command line use is much appreciated.<br>
In combination with a wordprocessor (i.e. abiword), mail merging is
feasable using a output.csv file from Portabase, and combining it with a
template.abw file with abiword.<br>
This will result in so many printouts as the records in the output.csv
file.<br>
<br>
This needs the template file to have the relevant title of colons as merge
fields.<br>
<br>
question and request: wouldn't it be nice the Portabase export dialog box
to have an option «export colons titles as first line»: colons titles would
then be present as first row in the output.csv file, comma separated as the
other datas.<br>
<br>
(afaik, such an option is present in sql manager for sqlite)<br>
<br>
example:<br>
<br>
FirstName,LastName,StreetAddr,City,State,Zip
<------ 1st row containing colons names (or titles)<br>
Mark,Gilbert,666 Microsoft
Way,Redmond,WA,
<--from here are the records<br>
David,Chart,123 Easydoc Street,Userville,MD,12345<br>
Dom,Lachowicz,777 GNU Ave.,Utopia,CA,02111<br>
<br>
thanks for any answer<br>
