Re: [RFC] BOM Editor

 

Hello, Martin!

Your work looks very promising.
I am running very similar stuff "manually" (by executing .sql scripts) around my commercial tool.

Is there an ODBC in between your frontend code and the Firebird database you use?
I am asking because the data here sits in a MariaDB storage.

Regards,

Clemens
