Chapter 6. Front-End Application

6.1. Introduction

The front-end application (gnomedb-fe) is a nice application that provides access to all the libgda model's power through a consistent and good-looking user interface. The front-end makes use of all the interfaces provided by the GNOME-DB libraries. This results in a consistent look&feel with the rest of the applications contained in the suite.

You can use it to query your database, export and import data to different formats, etc. In the future there will be support for user-defined forms and reports, which will allow the user to define a custom screen or report to be executed at any time.
