knoda - a database frontend for kde / News: Recent posts

I have released new stable versions of hk_classes and knoda. Knoda is a database-frontend for DBase, Firebird, MS Access, Mysql,Paradox, Postgresql, SQLite and ODBC. Besides
tables, queries and views knoda comprises forms and reports, which are scriptable via Python

Main new features:

* a new form filter allows easier creation of filters, the QBE query editor
parses the condition criteria and automatically completes and corrects it.
* Module handling added. A module is a Python script collection (e.g.
functions) that can be loaded with
hk_thisform.load_module("modulename")
* A new driver 'dbase' has been included, which works out of the box (the
xbase driver can still be used).
* The postgres driver supports the modification of the table design better.
* The 'date' widget has a new design
* the csv import and export dialogs are improved.
* Many bugs are fixed (e.g. 64-bit support, and report handling)... read more

I have released new stable versions of hk_classes and knoda.

Main new features:

* improved report generator. Report fields can automatically resize depending
on the size of the displayed text (set the "dynamic height" property to use
this in combination with the "line break" property). Fonts can be embedded
now (in the preferences dialog), so differences between the preview window
and the printed result should be history. There is also no need any more to
select a local charset.... read more

With its latest release knoda introduces a driver for MS Access databases (mdb files). Knoda is the first KDE based database frontend reading MS Access databases natively and is getting closer to its goal to be a full replacement for MS Access.

The driver is based on mdbtools (http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net).

I have released a new test version of hk_classes and knoda.

In hk_classes there are some bugfixes, which should fix some dubious crashes
when exiting knoda. Please let me know if you still experience crashes, I
don't have any open bugreports.

In knoda the main feature is a database designer dialog (see
http://hk-classes.sourceforge.net/screenshots/relationeditor.html\).
You can use it in forms in design mode. Don't wonder when your datasources
will all appear at the same place when you start the designer dialog for the
very first time with an existing form. Position the datasources and then
store the form. Please test it extensively, it will be base for a new query
editor GUI.

I just have released a new stable version of hk_classes and knoda.

The main features are:

* locally defined datasources in forms and reports
* labels in forms support frames
* knoda main window contains a toolbar
* Spanish translation added (thanks to Nacho Alonso)
* The login dialog remembers the password
* Many bugfixes.

To verify the integrity of the packages you will find the md5sums and gpg
signatures for download. My public key is available at
http://hk-classes.sourceforge.net/download.html (at the bottom of the page).... read more
