Hm, really tired of this #MSAccess, #LibreOfficeBase database application stuff. I need a quick way to create a "main/detail" GUI from a database.

There once was #WebObjects and that really nice #JavaClient stuff.

Is there anything else, existing to this day?

I know of
- #Apache #Cayenne (only ORM, no GUI generation)
- #ManyDesigns #Portofino (very close, but only web GUI. Thanks to @peter for that hint some time ago).

Do you know of anything? @helge

Does anyone actually use #LibreOfficeBase for anything? I'm finding it frustratingly limited, compared the niche it's trying to fill (e.g. MS Access 97), and strikingly incomplete in the pieces it does try to accomplish.

(If I'm upsetting any LO devs out there who have worked on this, I apologize; I know it's a thankless task. I would be interested in learning how to work with the source code, in the vague hope of maybe being able to address some of these issues myself... in all my spare time, of course... >.>)
