Abstract of INFO-MAC archived encoded Mac binary file 'dev/rbdb-maker-10.hqx' Uploaded 11/17/2000 626113 bytes Subject: RE: RBDBM.sit.hqx From: Rick Subject: RBdbMaker v.1.0 for Macintosh. RBdbMaker is a REALbasic Database management tool. It was initially created to overcome some of the bugs associated with trying to create and edit REALdatabases from within the REALbasic environment. I found that during development, inspecting the databases that I built ran the risk of corrupting the database, whereafter I was unable to open the database. Besides the constant backup approach, I also needed a way to manipulate the database after I built it and the REALbasic environment is not that flexible with its own built-in database engine. With RBdbMaker, it is possible to store your SQL in a text file, and to call on RBdbMaker whenever one needs to recreate or change the database -- entirely through SQL commands. This is particularly helpful for large database constructs. This distribution is fully functional shareware. A message box will popup during certain functions reminding the user to register the software. REQUIREMENTS: PowerPC Macintosh running Mac OS 8.6 or 9 SUGGESTED: REALbasic Programming Environment v.2.1.2
