I need an applet that I will provide a graphical interface to create a custom SQL string (Like a SQL "wizard". The applet need not interface with the Database, all I need is a string from it. It would go something like this: A. List all the fields, allow the user to "Add" the fields he/she wants the query to return B. List the included fields, with a free text box beside them allowing them to input a parameter string. C. A final option to allow the user to format the order in which the query will be sorted. D. Return a SQL string, or a delimited string Base64 encoded to my CGI. IE there might be three fields, Firstname, Lastname, and Address. The user sais he wants to include Lastname and adress. Then he free texts in by the Lastname field < B, then he chooses to order by Lastname. The applet would return the following for me. | is the delimeter SELECT= [LASTNAME],[ADDRESS]|WHERE= [LASTNAME] < 'B'|ORDER=[LASTNAME]| Or something similar... I would prefer that the initial list of fields, and the "return address" be specified by me at run time. As I understand, you can set applet properties at run time with JavaScript right? Or even better if I could stick them in some kind of text file for it? Well, if anyone is interested, please send me an email. My time schedule is tight, If I don't here from anyone in the next 24 hours, I'm going to code the whole thing into the CGI program, but I think that a quick little Java applet could do it much cleaner. I could code something similar in half dozen other languages in a matter of hours, but I don't know the one language that matters on the web... Please email me immediately if interested, _______________ Richard Rowell rrowell@shreve.net Delphi, Perl, C++, Visual Basic, ADA, ASM: Not any single language is the be-all end-all of programming. Each language does something well, they are all simply tools. Successful programmers learn not to use hammers to tighten screws, or wrenches to pound nails.
