Database Query Builder

Post by jrioux » Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:40 pm

The most recent documentation refers to a Database Query Builder accessible via the "Tools" menu. Odd, but I cannot find it there. Any suggestions?

The DBQB was a very simplistic tool that allowed one to choose a database and easily bind record content to various controls... FWIW, although it was simple to use, that same simplicity made it almost unusable for most applications anyway. (not something most folks would likely miss)

I'm not sure when or why they discontinued it, but they definitely forgot to update the documentation.

Best regards,

If you really must use the Database Query Builder (and I can't think of a reason why you should have to since you can do better with the Livecode built-ins) it is still possible to enable it by choosing the "Compatibility" section of the Preferences, and checking the box under "Unsupported Features". But yeah... it's unsupported.
IMHO, you should really, really be looking at SQL Yoga from the Rev Select store. (Unsolicited testimonial!)
