[Gnue-dev] A few of questions for a new project that will use GNUe

[Andres Moya]

Hello.

I'm evaluating a new application, that a customer has asked me to make, and I 
want to use GNU-e for it. For the moment, I will use GNUe-Forms and Reports. 
I have some questions (and will have more in the future :)

- I'm trying to test master/detail forms and they dont' work. I'm thinking if 
this feature is already implemented. If so, can anyone explain me how to do 
it? In techref manual, you talk about two attributes of Blocks ("master" and 
"detail"), but i've seen that Datasources also admit two attributes ("master" 
and "masterlink") that I haven't seen in any doc.

- The application must allow internationalization/localization, because it 
will be used in different countries, with varying languages, date and 
currency formats, etc. Have you thought in how will this be done in GNU-e?

- The application will need to scale down to a single PC with Windows 98 
running both the database server and the client, and up to a few dozen of 
clients in different sites talking to a single db server. The only server 
I've found that runs on W98 is MySQL. Do you think that the combination MySQL 
+ GNU-e is lightweigth enough to run in a single PC? (I think so...) The 
amount of data is very small (in fact, a similar previous application ran in 
a 386 with MS-DOS).


If the project goes on as expected, I will contribute to GNU-e development as 
much as I can, and will make my packages available, if possible. Thanks for 
your help.
