If we are looking at educating kids in cutting-edge programming, we don't even have to wait for version 1.0.

An example application or two that one can easily find in the Puppy menu and possibly modify at will should get things started. We can even call it "kiddie programming (KP)". (Then I can get my hands on it when no one is looking. Razz

)

How about a "create your Puppy" game? (create your unique Puppy from different colors and shapes)

The fonts in TkSqlite are way too small, very hard to read. I solved this problem by editing the configuration file:

/usr/lib/tile0.7.8/fonts.tcl

Now it looks much better.

How did you edit it? Inquiring minds want to know. Laughing

See the attached file. Changes are in the x11 section.

Notice that I use the Courier New font which I downloaded from the Internet. I understand that it is legal to use Courier New because it was made available by Microsoft at some point. But I am not a lawyer.

Have just uploaded SQLiteDBMS it is a puppy hacked version and was originally put together as a low resource solution for sqlite3 access and motionMon or litemon with the sqlite db back end. I had seen this topic previously so I am posting a link to those that wish to try it. It is far from a final package but is working and I would appreciate feedback as I am currently re-writing the client. I felt it may also contribute to the ongoing discussion here link is

Yet another interesting sqlite db management option I am uploading is a Gecko based sqlite manager which is very good at the pure db access level the problem with it is it requires seamonkey with the embedded sqlite engine so version 1.1 and above but it adds more fuel to the debate. It is not a pet as it is a native seamonkey extension. You should just be able to upload it unpack it and drag n drop it onto the browser and it should auto install md5 is below

You will need to unpack it as for security can not upload xpi to the forum

it uses kde and python (too big for Puppy)
but may suit some . . .

Anyone use it?

This is very nice
but a database online?
What happens when they sell to Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, NSA etc?

There hasn't been much activity on this front but, even though I've no use for a database, I thought I'd post this link to various sqlite frontends:

Another approach to this issue would be to use the XAMPP package (which is huge) and make it an .sfs file. This would add everything to make Puppy into a Web server running sqlite apache perl and php.

You will still need to add a GUI and/or Report writer, which is where Muggins' link will come into its own.
