Short: Powerful programmable relational database with GUI Author: Steffen Gutmann Uploader: Ralph Reuchlein Type: biz/dbase Kurz: Mächtige programmierbare relationale Datenbank mit GUI Requires: MUI 3.8 Date: 06-Apr-2000 Replaces: MUIbase-1.3.lha Homepage: http://www.amigaworld.com/support/muibase/ MUIbase V1.4 ------------ MUIbase is a relational programmable database that uses MUI as user interface. MUIbase is not public domain or free software. If you use MUIbase then you have to register your copy after a short while. You are allowed to install and run MUIbase without registration for a period of 4 weeks. After that time you have to register your copy of MUIbase or delete it from your system. Reinstalling MUIbase does not extend the license. After registration you receive your personal MUIbase key-file which enables all crippled features of MUIbase. For more information about registering MUIbase, see the documentation in the Docs directory. The documentation is available in three formats: AmigaGuide, dvi, and html. Features ======== MUIbase is a fast and very flexible database for the Amiga. It is for users who want to manage data in a comfortable and easy way. MUIbase is able to manage any kind of data, e.g. addresses, CD series, movies, or your income and expense. The power of MUIbase lies in its clear and powerful graphical user interface and its programming capabilities. The latter makes it possible to automatically calculate and maintain nearly everything, starting from automatically summing up values, e.g. for calculating the total amount of income or the total amount of recorded time of a CD, up to automatically creating and printing letters for any purpose. MUIbase is the successor of AmigaBase, a hierarchical programmable database which is still available but considered obsolete with the appearance of MUIbase. All registered users of AmigaBase can get a free upgrade to MUIbase by sending their AmigaBase registration number and return address to me (Email preferred). MUIbase offers the following features: * Handling of multiple projects at the same time. * Attributes can be of type string, memo (multi line text), integer, real, date, time, bool, choice (one item out of many items), reference (easy way to reference a record of another table), button (for starting MUIbase programs), and virtual (compute value on the fly). * The string type can also manage lists of strings, files, and fonts. An OS 3.x datatype gadget allows displaying external images. * Unlimited number of records. * Dynamic loading of records. Records which are not needed may be flushed from memory (e.g. when memory is low). * Programmability. With the easy and powerful MUIbase programming language complex tasks can be implemented. The language also includes a SELECT-FROM-WHERE query for easy and fast data retrieval. * Ordering of records by any combinations of attributes. * Flexible and powerful search and filter facility. * Query editor which allows entering and managing of SELECT-FROM-WHERE queries. The queries can be saved and the results can be printed. * Import and export facility. * Uses MUI as user interface. The interface is highly customizable. External images can be included in the user interface. * Portability. MUIbase development has been done under the idea of easy portability. The system/gui part has been separated from the ANSI/C part such that porting MUIbase will result in only porting the system/gui part. The author is currently investigating a Java implementation of the user gui. This would make the database available for nearly all computer systems, including Linux, Windows, and MacOS. The unregistered version of MUIbase is crippled in several ways. See the MUIbase documentation for a list of limitations in the unregistered version. New since V1.3 -------------- o Menu item for repairing corrupted projects. o Button for copying attributes. o Some bug fixes: no more corrupted projects, select-from-where with multiple tables, other minor fixes. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 516 209 59.4%
