Project:
trueDAT3
Client: Playground
Features: MSSQL/Access/MySQL, Classic ASP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript/MOOTools
Description:

John spends a lot of his time interacting with databases.  Defining schema, editing fields, making sure that this thing here changes when that button there is pushed... the whole lot of it.  So we figure let's make that time spent as enjoyable as possible.  (The last thing you want to do while debugging a complex query is stare at an ugly developer interface by Microsoft that gives you the vibe that they just don't care about your feelings.)

And so, trueDAT3.  A development project of it's own to make other development projects easier and more fun.  Not just a pretty face, trueDAT3 features uber smart interfaces to make the database end of application development as friendly and efficient as possible.

Testimonial:

I don't care if I developed it, I'm still writing a testimonial. This thing makes my life so much happier. Cumbersome tasks of importing and exporting, adding and editing, viewing and modifying... they're all just a breeze now. I'm such a lazy programmer: I just had to build something that makes my job easier on an ongoing basis. And it's my little zen garden: thanks Lee, for the fab design work!

We deploy trueDAT3 to any site we're working on. The login system phones home to Playground for user authentication. (Best to not let just any ol' person muck about in the database.)
We deploy trueDAT3 to any site we're working on.  The login system phones home to Playground for user authentication.  (Best to not let just any ol' person muck about in the database.)The big SQL text input (featuring the nice tree) is where the magic happens in talking with the database.  Shortcuts a-plenty to quickly access what is so commonly relevant.Easily save queries that you know you'll be running again and again.  Saved with your login information, so they'll be there when you need 'em next month.Inline edit mode allows editing of database records at the click of a button.  Sure beats typing 'UPDATE tblTasks SET dateDue='8/26/2008 5:00 PM' WHERE ID=2'
