1. Preface

This document describes sqlscreens release 1.0.1

With sqlscreens you can easily create screen forms, for querying and updating a relational database.

Sqlscreens is based on TCL/TK. It is primarily designed to work with MySQL as a backend. It might still work with INFORMIX (untested for some time), MSQL, and ODBC.

Sqlscreens is no match for commercial application development tools. It is a very simple tool to create ad-hoc query screens. We find it very handy for creating our data-entry utilities in CDKIT, which is why we decided to publish it, partly also because we use so much free software that we feel compelled to contribute a little.

If you've struggled with (Y,N,Y,N,Y,Y,...) lists in the MySQL grant tables, you may find sqlscreens useful :-)
