Application is the core of the concept DbFace. The DbFace application refers DbFace an available execution units, could be a database query / operator, a form reports, summary reports, line graph, Pie and so on.
Typical applications include a support user input form (optional), one or more of the execution of the script . When the user data entry form, click on the form submit button, DbFace will Script data entered by the user and application execution, submitted to the final database to perform the type of output data and press the corresponding application (such as data tables, summary tables, pie charts, Linear maps, etc.). Dashboard application is a special type of application, it can be supported by the application DbFace displayed in a page.
Query application that is launched on the target database application type query operation.
Typical applications include a user query DbFace input forms, queries script. Enter the user completes the form, click on the form's "submit" button, DbFace the implementation of the joint User inputs and generates a query script, made the final query results, according to the output format of the output for the query application form, summary tables, line graphs, pie charts or digital report.
DbFace application provides two ways to create a query: drag mode and script mode.
- Drag Mode: The user can choose to query (connect) to query the table, DbFace will display the available fields, the user will drag it to the corresponding field position corresponding to generate a query applications.
- Script mode: direct user input to retrieve SQL scripts (scripts can use the user form variable), generate a query applications.
Table view displays the data in rows and columns in the form of a report, which is the easiest way to show the data.
Summary Report is the same structure, the data of multiple different statements to the corresponding cell's data add up.
Database table editor provides original form CRUD (create, update, delete), filtered, paging and other functions.
DbFace built-in table editor and powerful:
- Data for tabbed browsing
- Press the field (multi-column sorting)
- Delete the line
- Open line editor
- Increased line: the user selects a single row of data, then open the line editor, will be selected row data is automatically copied to the editor, a very convenient
- Filtering data capabilities by field, click the Filter button to open the filter conditions Editor

DbFace application database operations can be completed action on any SQL database support (requires a database user support). With the help of the form below, you can create a user Data input data insertion, modification, deletion, for example, you can perform database repair table tablename sort of maintenance operations.
General database applications typically operate by User input form (optional), to confirm the information, execute script </ strong> components.
DbFace displayed first initialize and display the user input form, the user enters information form submit button clicked, will display a confirmation message (confirmation message can contain input data), Click on the OK button to confirm the information area, DbFace the script line by line execution of the application, and the final results of the implementation.
DbFace try to perform all transactions in the form of scripts, all scripts are executed only before the final submission of all executed, otherwise it will all be rolled back (need database transaction support).
DbFace provides a full-featured HTML editor (CKEditor), users can freely edit the content, and support the insertion of SQL queries to the compilation.
DbFace dynamic query script and display the HTML report content editing.
Dashboard application may be the above-mentioned three types of application seamlessly integrated into a single page. DbFace provide complete layout editor that allows users to drag and drop existing applications to the layout.
DbFace unique understanding of database applications and simplify the process of creating it is very simple and efficient.
-
Database Connection This application database used for data connections. Creating / editing application must first determine a good database connection.
-
Name Identify the name of the application, the application displays the user's name in the menu
-
Save Draft: The application is saved as a draft, save it as a draft of the application does not appear in the menu bar on the left side.
-
Preview Creating / editing application, the actual display preview applications.
-
publish Application testing is completed, the application delivery to all users.
DbFace integrated drag and drop form editor, assisted generate the user interface. Form Editor, there are two types of controls: the layout of the controls and form controls. all form controls must
Placed in the layout of the controls inside. The first step to create a form that is dragging a layout control to the editor.
Select the application you want to create a query data display format.
Select the application to use the data table, DbFace allow multiple tables joint inquiry.
Application user permissions to display all sub user accounts under your account (developer account has permissions to all applications). Check the user has access.
Administrator or developer account Login DbFace, first display the list of applications. This list provides functions to edit or delete applications.
Edit #### applications In the application list, select the application you want to edit, click the "Edit" button to enter the edit page, edit the application is not allowed to modify the data source. Edit mode applied reference Application Editor.
In the application list, select the application you want to delete, click the "delete" button, after application to confirm the deletion.
DbFace support to the application to specify the form to create a query or operation of the application supports user input. DbFace There are two major types of form controls: control layout and form controls. all form controls must be placed on the layout of the controls.
- Single line input box (Single Line)
Single line input box allows the user to enter a single line of string data, the user can specify the data type in the property editor. If you specify a data type, before submitting the form, it will check the input items Whether the specified type, if not, the form will not be submitted.
- Multi-line input box (Multi Line)
Multi-line input box allows the user to enter multiple lines of text.
- Drop-down box (Drop down)
Drop-down box allows the user to a list of values, select a data. Drop-down box to specify the data source.
- Single box (Radio Group)
Single box displays a list of all the values, and allows you to select one as the form data submitted.
- Checkbox (Checkbox)
Check box displays a list of all the values, and allows users to check multiple data submitted.
- Multi-box (Multi Select)
Check box displays a list of all the values, and allows the user to select multiple values submitted.
- Static Label (Static Label)
Static label display static data can not be edited.
- Text (Text)
The text can be described as a form content. DbFace integrated CKEditor support rich text editing.
To edit the project properties, click on the Edit button Forms project, open the property editor.
Notes that the project in front of the text items that can be used to identify the user of this form projects.
Forms project internal name that can be used as variables in the script. Such as: {$ status}
This project must be entered before running submission will check whether the value of this project is empty, if allowed to be empty, the form and submit.
This item can not be edited. Users can not edit this item.
Only limited value items (such as drop boxes, check boxes, check boxes, etc.) have a data source options. DbFace support direct input value with the specified script are two ways to use the data source (no limit Generally used for script preview, practical applications are generally not used).
-
Direct input values: the user to directly input data source, one per line value. Enter a value to support key: value segmentation format, DbFace if this format is detected automatically: Value as a form before submitting value, the latter value data as displayed in the form inside. Do not forget to use the data selector to assist in helping to select the data from the database.
-
Scripts: Users can use a query to set the data source.
Project modify the query script in the user input is complete, remove the focus is the implementation and results of the implementation-one mapping to the current form control.
DbFace using Smarty template engine to achieve extended SQL script functions to achieve the user can dynamically insert a form based on the input variables and functions in dynamic SQL rewrite the script. All scripts before submission to the database, it sends the current form of value, replace the contents of the script variables.
form variable values can be applied to the script.
Suppose an application form report query script:
select OrderData, Status, ColumnName from Orders where Status = {$status}Users have a project called status form, the user input (select) the value Shipped, then the final query would be:
select OrderData, Status, ColumnName from Orders where Status = `Shipped`The final statement may vary depending on the choice of different data sources.
SQL injection here do not worry, all the items will be filtered value of special characters.
script can also be used in the query application dragging mode, the value for the filter condition, can also use {$ status} variable syntax, for example:
About advanced usage of the script, please refer to the documentation Smarty template.
Depending on the control, form controls may output two types of data: a single value, a list of values
- single value: single line of text, multiline text, drop-down boxes, radio buttons submit only one value
Use single value $ {project name} style into the script, consider a name for the status of a single line of text, can be in the form {$ status} Inserted into the filter condition or application scripts. Such as:
select orderDate, status where status = '{$status}'Please note that in quotes, including this variable, DbFace when parsing script, will not determine the type of the field plus the value of quotes.
- multiple values: checkbox checkbox will submit multiple values
Multi-value filter is used in the control condition, the same single value, meaning that matches one of the conditions is met.
Multi-valued control is used in script mode, there are different, such as the search condition
... Where status = '{$status}'Will not retrieve the data, because {$status} is an array, will be forced to be converted to a string 'Array', the correct usage should be:
... Where status in ({$status|join}){$status | join} syntax is automatically launched and this segmentation value.
Limit values for certain form controls, such as drop-down box (DropDown), checkbox (Multi Select), checkbox (Checkbox), single box (RadioGroup), you can use Data source scripts to specify its limits when DbFace application execution, data sources dynamically execute a script to get the value of a form control.
Data source scripts can output one or two fields, the remaining fields will be ignored.
If there are two fields: the contents of the first field as submitted values (data applications in the script), the second field as the displayed values (data is only for show).
As
select value from table where ...Or
select key, value from table where ...To use the data source scripts, click Forms controls limit the "Edit" button in the pop-up window project edit box, click on the "script", "Data source script," the Enter the text box, enter the data source script, save it.
Do not forget to use the data source script generator, click on the "script" generator behind the icon will pop up all the tables and fields of the current link, check the required fields to generate Query this field.
Forms project after the modification is completed, you can set a query script. When the user input is complete, after the focus away from the edit control, the script will automatically execute and get the final database Data, will get one mapping field names to the current set of form controls.
To use the program to modify the script, click on the Edit button in the project, the project properties in the edit box that pops up, click on the "Modify scripting", launched in the text box, enter the script is saved Can be.
Forms project to modify the script you can use the current variable form.
Users can specify a load script form (query) data is used to initialize the form's controls.
After opening the application, DbFace will detect whether the current load scripts using the form, if so, will automatically execute this query script and query results to-one mapping to the current form. In case Returns the number of data query script, DbFace provide the Browse button, you can select the data required for use for the value of a form control.
To create a form to load the script, click the Form Editor "Properties" button to bring up the properties of the edit box, enter the script is loaded, you can save.
DbFace integrates many gadgets to user-friendly operation, enhance the user experience.
Query script generator to help users generate a simple query script that can be used to load the script form, form controls and data source controls to modify the script and other scripts. Users click Search Script Generator icon will pop up the data fields of the current table and each table is linked.
Expand the need to generate data tables, check the fields required to generate unique data script for this field.
When users select the data with the help of the data table can be opened directly, select the required data, such as creating a form, select the data source for the field data.
- Click on the Data Selector icon will pop up the data table and field current link
- Check all options need to get the field
- After confirmation, will return the data copied to the current editor
In the application dragging mode and form editor, DbFace integrated data filters easy to use editor to help users generate data filtering criteria.
- Filtering criteria used in the query editor to create the application
- Filter conditions in the form editor application editor
