Re: newbie see newbie do

I've not actually written any code using Qt3's DB stuff, be we looked at it as a driver layer for Rekall.

We concluded that while its probably fine for use in a dedicated application (eg., the code explicitely knows about the tables), it just does not provide enought functionality to use for a general-purpose database front end (like Rekall or Abcess). In practice, you'd end up using it simply to pass SQL queries to the RDBMS and to get back the results. The classes like QSQLCursor are just too limited. Indeed, as it stands at present, you cannot write a gernal purpose front end without coding server specific information into the front end (ie., the front end needs to know whether the RDBMS is MySQL, Postgres, etc., and act accordingly)

Of course, you might consider this claim a call to arms :))
