[Bond-users] Bond vs. Glom for small clinic

[Colin Close]

Hi Gour,

I have used Bond to created a visiting database application. If you are 
happy to try and learn Python you won't find Bond too difficult. Several 
years ago I spent a long time looking for something that would do what 
Bond can do and believe me it is head and shoulders above anything else 
I found. It is also great fun!!  As Dru says in his mail if you are 
prepared to create your database structure in postgresql and take a 
small amount of time (and I do mean small) to learn its function 
language pl/pgsql Bond will do the job for you.
I started off by using one the ready created Bond applications 
(Paymaster) which I used as a foundation for my visits database.
Paymaster has lots of good examples of how to implement things like 
searches, lists and reports. If you decide to use Bond I can let you 
have a copy of the app I have written which will give a lot more 
examples of what can be done with the more modern incarnations of Bond.

Simply put get yourself postgresql, pgadmin3 (for database management 
and function development), Bond and KDE's Kate as your development 
environment. Its best to use the Kate from KDE3 since the KDE4 version 
does not yet have the xml checking plugin.

Best of luck

Best
