Database GUI Applications

Database programs in SIMPOL tend to start with Superbase NG Personal. Using its table creation tool, or via the import functionality, a new database table or tables can be created. In the same program the Form Designer can be found. Once the database tables are created, the Form Designer is used to create appropriate masks for the screen. These can be saved as forms, as source code, or both. Once the basic components have been created, they can be quickly turned into a small program that provides all the tools for creating, editing, and deleting data from the tables. More can be added to allow the output of data in various formats. For a full example, see Chapter 6, GUI-Style Database Programs.
