It’s been a while
Hey all, it has been quite a while since I’ve posted some updates. Don’t worry we are hard at work and we are getting somewhere.
We now have a Batch Operation dialog that allows you to set properties on multiple objects in one click. Same goes for creating a series of objects in one click.
Work on the Orion database engine started again this week. Yes, we’ve worked on it long ago and didn’t have time to retouch it. Now, we are putting polishing and we’ve came up with really cool stuff.
For example, creating a database with multiple tables, is a matter of dragging components to the project manager and select the database object and click ‘Create Database’, this will create the database file and create all the tables according to the fields specification you’ve specified.
Next is our visual query builder module and the report editor. The report editor module has not been worked on at all, so we are not sure yet what we will do, we would really like it to run on the Windows Mobile devices (in preview mode) but if it is too complicated we are going to go with an already made report builder.
So, in to sum up, the database support in PPL 2.0 will be very advanced (still SQLite based for portability and very small) fully object-oriented, create tables visually, create queries visually and create reports visually.
Our goal with PPL 2.0, is to offer a tool that is easy to use but also very powerful.
Work on promotion videos has started and we will be releasing small clips of the cool features you will be able to use in PPL 2.0.
Until next time, enjoy life!
