No, I just had more bug reports so I needed more time to fix it.
Anyway it's already done and at this moment I'm packaging binary distributions. I'll release 1.1.2 today or tomorrow, hopefully (if packaging won't cause problems).

EDIT:
Ok, packaging needs to wait till weekend (which would be 4-5 of April). Expect release for these days.

It's ready to use as it is. Just download sqlitestudio to /root/my-applications/bin, open a terminal and run

You're missing the space between u+x and /root/my-applications/bin/sqlitestudio-2.1.0.bin.

Awfull database, ugly, no data import !
Perhaps I dont understand anything. I shall try it again.
SQLiteman looks better.
Kexi is quite OK
Portabase too
The best would have been PPDB Puppy Data Base but Nobody cared of it.
The best way : use add-on Firefox or seamonkey SQLITE manager.

Im running Saluki on my old asus eee 701, i installed dosemu and hve been running n old dos database called Q&A by Symantic i used it at work for about 15 years and when I retired boss sid to throw it away they were going to Access so I threw it away to me. Works well and you my be able to use other old dos databases too.
Just an other option

Slqiteman : ok there is a pet
sqlitestudio ! make a pet of it
The most important is to join image and url to to make a file of the object.
Sqlite is already include in puppy, bot not easy to use by poor and lonesome geeks as us.

Hi, pelo.

You wrote:

Someone actually "cared" about your problem, investigated it, and explained to you why PPDB couldn't be easily corrected. So please do not generalize. Are we running in circles?

I also note that in your list, all those database programs need external support (a computer language such as java or qt, or a firefox or seamokey set-up) to the tune of from 35Mg's to 100 Mg's and even 120 Mg's.

Maybe Jactek, in the message above this one, is unto something. Old database programs for DOS will run in Puppy after you've installed DOSBox, which weighs a mere 1,5 Mg in its latest static version. Now that's quite a saving in Mg's by comparison! Smile

Thanks for the tips

It is important for me to know how did the SQL query look like? I know it was simple, but it will help me to understeand problem.

Required software packages
Osmo is GTK+ based tool and uses a plain text (XML) database to store all personal data.
GTK+ - The GIMP Toolkit library, version >= 2.12
LibXML 2 library, version >= 2.0.0

Optional software packages :
Libnotify library, version >= 0.4.4
Libgtkhtml2 library, version >= 2.2.0
Libical library, version >= 0.33
Libtar library, version >= 1.2.10
Libgringotts library, version >= 1.2.1
Libsyncml library, version >= 0.4.0

As Puppy has no database of its own, you can use OSMO to get a file by file base using a spreadsheet as data source.
I manage my pupsaves collection with OSMO.
Nothing needed to be installed !
Next step : It can be used as an inventory check file by filling the quantity found v/s theorical one, with the picture of concerned machines.
Frenchie Osmo Video
You can import csv format.
Rubrica can convert vCards to CSV format. Some addressbooks might also be converted between various formats using another address book called Pycocuma.

How do I import .ics files?
The bottom part of the Options dialog box for the calendar lets you import files in iCalendar format for read-only access. As of this writing, the program will only open iCalendar fields for reading; you cannot enter or edit data in a calendar you import in this way

from korganizer, only calendar events (VALARM) were imported, not to-do's (VTODO).
Bugs told sourceforge.

The only ways to import tasks in Osmo is to save the hidden files somewhere and to install them Before Starting Osmo. Once started, osmo cannot import tasks, even .ics.
Import tasks in OSMO
If by chance somebody else has to do yr tasks, because your are the boss, use column categorie to remember who is in charge to satisfy you. .
How do I exchange Osmo data with other programs or devices ? What data exchange formats does Osmo support ?
but the best method of transferring your Osmo information is to create a backup of the entire PIM in the Options / General window (toward the bottom) and save the backup file somewhere portable. Then recreate the entire Osmo instance on another computer with OSMO running there, using the same backup window in the new or other Osmo program on another computer.
Thanks a lot for information received via UBUNTU USERS.
At its current stage of development in 2013, we do not recommend data imports from applications like KOrganizer, Evolution, etc. to Osmo. If you do you will be disappointed Wink

, or just work really hard. If you do the work, share your results! Tell others here or on the discussion forum.

FWIW, to amateurs of older DB formats:

I have provided the details of my new DOSBox_Office-2a sfs here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=751153&sort=lastpost#751153

Among numerous other things, it contains PowerBrowse, Clut and DataPerfect for data
processing, and AsEasyAs 123, the spreadsheet program, now freeware.

If you want to save yourself a new learning curve, it's up to you. Considering gnumeric
understands wks and DBF, those "old" programs migth still bear some relevance.

BFN.
