Hi Craig! Please explain why you are creating a terminal frontend to SQL-Ledger. I think that Web based Aplications is the new wave of office products. Let see at MS .net project for example. If you want, you can do anything with SQL-Ledger source. But the goal to archive is to create a account application Web-based. PHP is great, and maybe he will save us many problems about UI. Please Dieter explain us why you dont choose PHP in the develop of SQL-Ledger. I think that MySQL is a low-end DBMS. PostgreSQL is more powerfull and we will approach the powerful features of PostgreSQL. Dieter again, please answer us what you think about that. I will be glad to open a discussion about the Roadmap of SQL-Ledger to all the users. Regards, Antonio Gallardo. -----Mensaje original----- De: sql...@li...

Asunto: Re: [SQL-Ledger-users] evaluation of sql-ledger Hi Matthew I am currently developing a seperate app to use on Wyse Terminal's as a frontend to SQL-Ledger. Ultimatley (The way I see it) SQL-Ledger is simply a frontend to the postgresSQL database. So writing another type of Frontend should not really pose too much of a problem. The linux console scripts I am putting together for my own business simply write to the same database and tables. The only thing that's really different is the user interface. So I don't see why you couldn't do it from another application. The tests I've come up with on my consoles appear to work and I havn't noticed any problems with SQL-Ledger itself after using the console app. For those of you on this list interested in a Console application, I will be releasing it as soon as I feel comfortable with it's performance. Hope that helps out a little. Regards Craig Jansen (CeeJay Computer Services) PH: +64 21 144 1851 FAX: 64 6 323 2060 http://www.cjcs.yi.org >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< > 2.

MySQL revisited again. Pleased check what happens when you put more than 2 Millions of rows on = a MySQL DB and then try the same on PostgreSQL, then we can talk about = truly DB performance. FYI one of the largest DB in the world is a 60 GB DB on Japan and this = DB dont choice MySQL because his lack performance on a very large DB. This = DB run on PostgreSQL.

The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an open, global specification which gives mobile users with wireless devices the opportunity to easily access and interact with information and services. The protocol is developed by WAP Forum http://www.wapforum.org/, an organization of some of the most powerful Internet and telecom companies. -----Original Message----- From: sql...@li...

Why not make sql-ledger available in a frame-free version, and then make it easier for non-mouse applications? Like having shurtcut keys. Then sql-ledger could be quite versatile out of the box with lynx etc. Kind regards keld |

Or you can use links, a lynx-based browser with frame support. Links is text WWW browser, similar to Lynx. Links displays tables, downloads on background and uses HTTP/1.1 keepalive connections.

I should mention here that the new version (not yet released) seperates the backend code from the display.

First off, I think that it is applaudable that Craig is attempting to create a curses interface to SQL-Ledger. An application should be designed in such a way that allows it to be modified to meet the needs of any end user. Take an application like Quickbooks (since we are on an accounting path here!). This is a nice application for some, but by no means does it really meet the needs of all. Unfortunately, there is no real quick and easy way to modify it to be useful. I think Craig gave a very valid explaination of why he is doing such a modification. Secondly, I was curious to hear about how you qualify your view of MySQL being a "low -end" DBMS. The lacking feature of MySQL at one time was handling transactions. Of course that was prior to 3.23, because that requirement has been put in to production. From a benchmark perspective, MySQL is in fact faster than PostgreSQL, by a significant margin. Of course this was due to a transaction mechanism which easily made MySQL faster. Nevertheless, although I am by no leaps and bounds a MySQL evangelist, I will say that MySQL does a nice job of holding it's own. |

Please explain why you are creating a terminal frontend to SQL-Ledger. I think that Web based Aplications is the new wave of office products. Let see at MS .net project for example. If you want, you can do anything with SQL-Ledger source. But the goal to archive is to create a account application Web-based. PHP is great, and maybe he will save us many problems about UI. Please Dieter explain us why you dont choose PHP in the develop of SQL-Ledger. I think that MySQL is a low-end DBMS. PostgreSQL is more powerfull and we will approach the powerful features of PostgreSQL. Dieter again, please answer us what you think about that. I will be glad to open a discussion about the Roadmap of SQL-Ledger to all the users. Regards, Antonio Gallardo. -----Mensaje original----- De: sql...@li...

Asunto: Re: [SQL-Ledger-users] evaluation of sql-ledger Hi Matthew I am currently developing a seperate app to use on Wyse Terminal's as a frontend to SQL-Ledger. Ultimatley (The way I see it) SQL-Ledger is simply a frontend to the postgresSQL database. So writing another type of Frontend should not really pose too much of a problem. The linux console scripts I am putting together for my own business simply write to the same database and tables. The only thing that's really different is the user interface. So I don't see why you couldn't do it from another application. The tests I've come up with on my consoles appear to work and I havn't noticed any problems with SQL-Ledger itself after using the console app. For those of you on this list interested in a Console application, I will be releasing it as soon as I feel comfortable with it's performance. Hope that helps out a little. Regards Craig Jansen (CeeJay Computer Services) PH: +64 21 144 1851 FAX: 64 6 323 2060 http://www.cjcs.yi.org >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< > 2.

SQL-Ledger was never intended to be just a webbased accounting system. This is the reason for not using php or CGI and perl instead. Perl is available on every platform I can think off which makes it virtually platform independant. I don't have a preference which SQL servers is used as long as transactions are supported. Early versions did work with mySQL but I dropped support starting with Version 1.0 Dieter Simader http://www.sql-ledger.org (780) 472-8161 DWS Systems Inc.
