Problems with Xdobry

I also want to name the possible problems with the use of the program. It is not about mistake in the real sense special more around difficulties which are not to be solved yet.

If you have similar problem or if you have consider to other functional ways, let me about it know. How the next version will look, depends on you.

Program Options

You can specify some options by starting FormServer.

FormServer -- [-help] [-debug] [-viewonly] [-ignorexmlpar | -noconnectdialog | -connect connectpar | -loadmacros macrofile | -openform formname | xmlfile]

-debug

Activate some menus for debugging: SQL-Monitor, XOtcl class-browser, Tk-Window Browser, interactive modi

-viewonly

The database contens can be only viewed. No delete, modify or insert operation are allowed.

-ignorexmlpar

Ignore all parameters codded in XML file.

-noconnectdialog

Do not show database connect dialog. All parameters for database connection should be specified in XML file or by -connect option.

-loadmacros

load a tcl-script after initialisation.

-connect

Specify database connect parameter. The parameters are codded as TclX keyed list.
-connect "{interface mysql} {user root} {dbank test} {password geheim} {socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock}"

-openform

Open a form after initialising.

Warning

All option must be tipped after --.

           {user root} {socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock}"
