we intend to install a data base supported administration of our computer users
with multiple access. This administration should be easy to use, therefore we
are looking for a developement environment for GUI based applications. This
environment should support database access.
Has anybody tried to develope a GUI in Metacard for a data base with more than
1000 data base objects? Which data base have you used and how can you access
the data base in Metacard?
Thanks

I've accessed an ndbm (a unix library) database from MC. I simply
wrote a couple access programs (in C++) to extract data and output it
to stdout. MC then used shell() to access the data. This worked fine
for my case, but in general its probably not the best way. Might be
good to write your access programs as MC "externals" though.
