A short little Gambas review

Gambas is a Visual Basic like programming environment for Linux. I did some consulting work with MS-Access which used VB. So this would be handy to access small databases I might create on Linux in SQLite3. Actually SQLite3 would have no problems working with one million records. However SQLite3 wouldn’t be a great choice for a multi-user database. But Gambas can connect with real SQL databases also. With Gambas combined with SQLite you could create some fairly portable applications between Linux’s.

I found a Gambas folder on a USB flash drive. And it had a few sub folders from 2017. So I did do something with it 5 years ago.

Here is an advanced : ) GUI interface I created…

What’s most interesting to me is how Visual Basic like the simple button click me code is.

This is much more interesting…

A live connection to a SQLite3 dogs database. You can see the other tables also. I red boxed the above because I went back and had some trouble locating the project. At startup I was shown this…

Sure it’s obvious now.

Oh the possibilities. However I really should concentrate on my Udemy Go course right now.
