Linux / Apache / GT.M / Web Application Lesson 9.


We are moving into the Fileman world for the next few lessons. If you are just joining this line of lessons, we are developing a web interface to a Fileman application for maintaining a list of Library Books.


We are going to use the "namespace" of ZLIB for all of our library pieces. That means that all tables, files, globals, and routines will start with ZLIB.


We are going to create four tables for our library database.


ZLIBBOO Books Title 

                              *Author

                              *Publisher

                              Date Published

                              *Location


ZLIBAUT Author Name 

                              Date of Birth

                              Date of Death


ZLIBPUB Publisher Name 

                              Address

                              City

                              State

                              Zip Code


ZLIBLOC Location Location Code 

                              Description


The tables ZLIBAUT, ZLIBPUB, and ZLIBLOC must be created first, before you can use them in the ZLIBBOO table.


The following listing shows how I created the four tables using Fileman, with the resulting global that was produced.


I added a book and again listed the resulting global.


This is a starting place just to see if everyone can get Fileman working smoothly. For some reason on my installation of Vista, Fileman is hidden under the option ZZFILEMAN.


If you need help at any point along the way, just try the question mark, ?. It usually helps with information or a listing of options. The general Vista way of answering requests for help is if you use one ?, you get some help, if you use two ??, you get more help, if you use three ???, you get more help then you wanted.
