Hi, 

postgreSQL-emacs-forms is a bunch of programs which permit editing values of tuples from tables (of a
postgreSQL database) in a widgets environment built in Emacs.



PREREQUISITES:
=============
So, you should know what is Emacs, widgets, and have an sql-database.
The server side is written in C++, with massive use of GNU STL !!!


INSTALLATION:
=============
In this version it is not straightforward. You will have to make many things manually.

I describe several steps: (hope not to forget something fundamental, if so email me!)

* change your /etc/services  --- add the line in the file services.MM, avoid conflicts the number is
  used in the server... ios.h

* compile the server: hopefully  <make>  is sufficient. Start it <ser> on the psql server.

* define descriptions of 
      forms: see client/MM-description.el   --- eval thereafter
      queries: see  edit_programs.sql       --- psql -f edit_programs.sql
      
* in Emacs load file MM-form.el, eval-buffer, and start it---at the end find the commands (which suit my
  needs, modify them appropriately).




Version 0.96:

Massive improvement in the server part---finally multi-user (terminal). Better distinction between
tuples and searches. 

On the client-side some tricks with mouse-menus, a bit better organization in the search buffer.



Work in progress: QBE (I'm still learning (haiving problems with) widgets in depth). installation,
documentation (help welcome!!!) 








This is for Emacs:
