Hello kampfkolosso,
Sorry for using your user OpenLaszlo name; I don’t know your real one.
First of all, congratulations on the brilliant idea to develop a tool like Xtirer. Honestly, I was aching for this kind of script and I was thrilled when I came across your blog in an OL forum thread. Also, it’s great you decided to release it under GPL! Much appreciated indeed!!!
Now, can I take this opportunity to ask you a few general questions, please?
1. What does the future hold for this project? Do you have a kind of a
roadmap?
2. I had a brief look at the documentation but I couldn’t quite work
out if version 0.2 supports nested selects. Can you have a SELECT in a WHERE clause?
I think it would be useful if you published an SQL compliance table. You could have one column for the current version and another one for the next/future version/s.
3. Do you use an abstraction library, such as ADOdb, that makes it
possible to connect your layer to various DBMS?
4. Do you need some development/testing help? Our resources are
stretched to the limit but we might be able to give you a hand. It’s a worthy cause for sure!
5. In sourceforge I can find only 0.2beta, dated July 3, but I gather
on July 15 you released version 0.2. Is there any chance we could get the latest version?
Thanks for your time and keep up the good work in the meantime!
Cheers,
Naso.
