[Oberon] Oberon database application framework

[Dan Parnete]

<>Hello,

I have built an Oberon database application framework based on 
Objects.Library, including a small integrated database engine. If 
anybody interested, please tell my where to post it.

It is functional in local, and now I'm working for extend it to the 
network (it works, bat needs more testing), to create a client/server 
framework. Then, I will extend it to ODBC databases. In the future I 
will rewrite it for Aos. It should be an XML db with standard XQuery API 
and Aos GUI (when more controls will be available).
Unfortunately, I have no documentation for it. But if anybody 
interested, I promise to write some.

The database have nothing to do with any standard. I call it "database" 
just for give an idea of what we talking about, but it's a simple 
collection of objects, more precisely private libraries of Model objects 
stored in a .db file. Indexing is provided automatically, the first time 
a field is used in a query condition. It's a multi database engine. The 
query language is very rude an conforms only with my needs. Here are 
some simple examples:

DpsDb.Cmd Query Database Collection GD "PKEY>0" ~
    dumps (Get Dump command) all records, all fields of database 
Database, collection Collection on System.Log <>

DpsDb.Cmd Query Database Collection G "PKEY>0" "field1,field2" ~
    get all records (Get command), only field1, field2 in PackFile file 
which transports data between db an the client application.

I can provide more complex examples on a complete sample application.

<>The application framework is base on Gadgets and implements:
- Window: panel with one or more datasources and datawindows
- DataSource: tree structure of data arrived from the database, 
organised in a logic dependency (master/detail); it has a datawindow and 
a dataobj list attached.
- DataWindow: form panel or table panel with binded fields.
- DataObj: record of data (library)

There is a report builder too, same fashion as datawindow.
