Nice enhancement Sudip.

This will be really helpful to port an existing db software to a new customer/computer.

Program which generates code !

You are going to "programming without code" !

Good enhancement, congrats :)

I feel I should express my thoughts little more. :)
I created this small utility, when it just came to my mind. No, organized thinking ;)
I like coding by hand. So, I created this to help my own coding style. This small app will be helpful for porting my old clipper and VFP apps to HMG. And, using the source code anyone can adopt his/her way of coding :)
IMHO, programming with hand made code is a better choice. I just remember my old Clipper Apps. They are certainly better than my old VFP apps!!! :)
So, where do we need "programming without coding"? A very good example is our HMG IDE. Form control coordinates are harder in case of hand coding.

Thank you again for your encouragement :)
But, I am not "really" happy until I shall create a real life big app with HMG :(

With best regards.

Sudip

Hi Friend Vanguarda,
Thank you for your kind words.
I am not such a "great" programmer ;) I am a learner with a bad habit of out of focus (Esgici? ;))

We are all in the same boat brother. We all dream to create some great app and then share with others :)
So, "NEVER ABANDON YOUR DREAM" :)

BTW, does anyone have any idea how to create an app which will create SQL code by QBE (Query By Example)?
I created one with VFP about 5/6 years back, but that used only one table, no joining, no group by ...
This will be very helpful for MySql back end.

Regards.
