Data management system

[Marc Venken]

Hello,

Is there a sample or tip for a Data management system ?

During progress in development of programs, but also in retrieving info/samples etc from the forum I'm looking for a program that can holt all kind off stuff.
These kind of programs exist, maybe also from FW users ?

I'm thinking of a Xbrowse that shows a tree (tree is Mr. Rao's)



Master could be "Databases Project 1" Accounts = "Customers" and then the structure of the database (maybe a memo field ?) This helps while programming because I ofthen need to know hox the
fieldname is... so all dbf's from a project are insite Database project 1

Transactions could be "FWSamples"
Xbrwowse
Settings for Xbrowse
here a memo field where the sample code would be copied to from the forum
todbf()
here samples from the forum
TDatabase
Sample from James
here the sample text
Sample from Mr. Rao and ...
here the sample
TODO manager
Webshop
Test connection with shop
Connect to Chimp
Fwin
Update to latest version

I hope that what i'm trying to say make sence

In general a software utility that we can copy text into (maybe even screenshots) and that can be opend with a key combination to popup.

I often find the need to take notes, and then look back on them perhaps months ( years ) later. I also wanted to keep track of my databases ( file name, indexes, fields, structure, and purpose of each one ).

I decided to use OneNote from Microsoft because it can work across all devices. You can do extensive organization, so I have various Chapters, and then pages. You can find whatever you want in moments, it supports Copy and Paste, you can put in charts and photos, and so much more.

Of course I have some sections on non-technical things. Since I can access it on any computer, tablet, notebook, or phone, on all OS's, it's my saved resource center. It stores the info in the cloud so it can be synchronized across any device.

Thanks Tim,

I looked into OneNote and indeed, it can do all that I want. (Copy/Paste, save screenshots, links, ...)

Mark,
this is my solution.

Tim,

I use Onenote a lot. But to memorize source code, is not as flexible as an own written tool. Speed matters!

At the moment, I am working on a mod harbour interface to this program.

Best regards,

I also have a tool called snipkeeper.

Otto,

It seems that you also have several interesting tools... maybe some are available to us ? Have you centralised them somewhere on your site ?

[TimStone]

Otto,

As the years stretch on, I have not kept my "documentation" current ... and when I get time I likely will update it. I'm sure a tool can be great, but there are so many projects for me to tackle so I haven't gone down that road.

In the old Clipper days, we used to have many documenting tools that made this all so easy. Maybe I'll revisit the old Oasis website and see if some have source that could be updated to 32 bit. They all went away with 16 bit DOS.

Tim, forget about the old Clipper programs.
We have xBrowse and we can store RTF into memofields.

Best regards,
Otto

Otto,

The Oasis had many excellent tools we could use with our programming, including formatting and documenting programs. They ran automatically on a .prg file and did an awesome job. However, they were all 16 bit.

I have UE Studio which can do some of that work. However, in the early Clipper days, people were very creative in making tools for the language. I think today most developers focus more on the code they write for the marketplace.
