When you say "as a backend", are you meaning as a way to save the designed database forms in a central location?
If that's the case, it might also be interesting to try saving to some Cloud type service. I'll point at the one I'm working on (https://dbhub.io), but there are plenty of others too. :smile:
The designed database forms are saved locally, but the database will be stored on a PostGreSQL server running somewhere (either locally or remotely).
Ahh, standard backend database storage. Got it. :smile:
The Livecode thing seems interesting. Hadn't come across it before, but it seems potentially nifty for cross-platform rapid prototyping.
Doing a search on the Livecode
(.com) -> Resources
-> API
docs for sql
says it has a custom library that supports connections to MySQL, PostgreSQL, , Valentina, and Oracle (LiveCode Enterprise only) databases
.
Weird that it doesn't mention SQLite in there. Maybe it's the missing field in that string? :smile:
Hmmm, their Working with Databases
page instead says they support SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. With support for ODBC too. Seems like a pretty standard feature set, so shouldn't be too difficult to make work. :smile:
well, I'm a newb at all this, so it's just trying to figure out how to add it to the interface that is still simple for other newbs, like myself, to use ;-)
one nice thing about it, only the connection command is different, all the other commands stay the same so no need to rewrite any parts of the program
Cool. Looks like you've picked a nifty idea for a project too. :smile:
I'll put aside some time to download and try experimenting with LiveCode, and see if I can make sense of it and do anything useful. :grin:
The old GPL version of LiveCode is available on archive.org https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22LiveCode%2C+Inc.%22 Free is always good :)
Heh Heh Heh. Is that the one you're using?
I'll try and match what you've got, so I can try loading your project too. :smile:
I use LiveCode Community 9.6.3 to do the coding
Thanks, I'll give that a go. :smile:
I'm in Ontario, Canada and I'm usually active on the weekends. I wish I had the freedom to be a little more active other times, but that's a "perk" of being a peon ;-)
Sorry I haven't followed up with this. Stuff with my own main project has really kicked up a notch, so that's where my focus is for now. :innocent:
allow the use of postgresql as a backend
