At this point, I have to give a shameless plug to my soon-to-be-released product, SQLMagic. If I were a marketing person, I'd probably come up with a slogan something like "SQLmagic, it makes your code disappear", but I'm not so I won't.... but it does :-)
Take a look at the video at the bottom of http://www.lcsql.com/sqlmagic.html to get a flavor for how it works. It shows how to create a three-table inquiry transaction complete with search capabilities in a few minutes without writing any Livecode scripts or figuring out any SQL statements. It's equally easy to create Insert, Update, and Delete processing, even mixing processing modes within one transaction. SQLMagic takes care of all the SQL statements, data conversion, locking, and navigation between tables. Please contact me off list if you are interested in what you see. I will be on vacation for a couple of weeks but plan to go into full beta mode when I return at the beginning of June.
