Begin3 Title: xdobry Version: 0.20 Entered-date: 2001-05-19 Description: Xdobry is a new approach database form generator for relational databases. The forms are generated not from relational-schema (by reading data dictionary) but from conceptional-schema made by using reverse engineering. The forms supports rich semantic abstraction: association (relationship) as Form-Link, aggregation as nested Forms, object inheritance as Tab-Widget and foreign-keys as multi-columns lists. Therefore form are not another representation of tables but object at higher abstractions level. You can use this forms to browse database like hypertext documents. There are three programs: SchemaEditor for making a conceptional schema, FormEditor GUI Drag&Drop Editor for DB-Form and FormServer. The System is programmed in Tcl-Language (with extension Tk TclX Tix XOTcl tDOM), used XML as Format for describing Form-GUI and DB-Schema (Repository). At this time there are interfaces to mysql and to postgresql databases.
