Example Database Application

[dciphercomputing]

Hi

As I am in the process of learning how EiffelStudio works I would be interested in finding a simple GUI database (ODBC) application with something simple like a list of customers loaded from a table and when you click on an item in the list it shows the name and address details in some text boxes on the same form.  I am reading the documentation but there are a lot of details and I would like to get a better picture of the overall interaction of the pieces in a real example.  The examples included in EiffelStudio actually do not compile on my installation as they complain of missing files.  So if there is such an example somewhere I would like to hear about it.

Thanks,
Simon

Hi, Simon,

What are the errors you got when you compiling the EiffelStore examples exactly? Please post it here to see if I can help you. :)

Several months ago, I use the examples to connect MYSQL(ODBC) and Oracle, they work well.

Hi

I may have found the problem in compiling in that the sample was targeted to Ingres which I do not have. I switched to ODBC and it compiled.  So I will have to test the examples further to insure I have solved the problems.

However, I am more interested to learn how the data widgets work in relation to displaying data from the database.
