With Glom you can design table definitions and the relationships
|
||
|
|
between them, plus arrange the fields on the screen. You can edit
|
||
|
|
and search the data in those tables, and specify field values in
|
||
|
|
terms of other fields. It's as easy as it should be.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The design is loosely based on FileMaker Pro, with the added
|
||
|
|
advantage of separation between interface and data. Its simple
|
||
|
|
framework should be enough to implement most database
|
||
|
|
applications. Without Glom these systems normally consist of lots
|
||
|
|
of repetitive, unmaintainable code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Glom-specific data such as the relationship definitions is saved
|
||
|
|
in the Glom document. Glom re-connects to the database server
|
||
|
|
when it loads a previous Glom document. The document is in XML
|
||
|
|
format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Glom uses the PostgreSQL database backend but it can not edit
|
||
|
|
databases that it did not create, because it uses only a simple
|
||
|
|
subset of Postgres functionality.
