Let's recap what was accomplished:
You used the Dictionary Editor to create a data dictionary.
In your new dictionary, we defined a Customer and Orders table using the dictionary Editor's Table Import feature.
We set up table relationships between the tables that we imported.
You used the Data Dictionary to quickly add another table definition.
You defined the relationship between the two tables and specified the Referential Integrity rules governing the relationship.
You used the Application Wizard to create your first application, with added validation to the Customer's State column.
In less than thirty minutes'without any “coding” on your part'you've created complete application for a database containing three related tables. That's a real accomplishment!
If you can do this much with Clarion's “shortcuts,” what can you expect to accomplish with all the other tools Clarion provides?
In this first lesson, you should notice the overall design flow: Dictionary changes, Application changes, back to the Dictionary, back to the Application, and so on.
You will find that the more time that you spend on your dictionary design at the start, the less modifications you will need on the application side.
In this Getting Started lessons, we have only scratched the surface into the power of the Clarion development environment.
The Getting Started and Learning Clarion lesson applications
The completed application and dictionary files are located in the
'\Lessons\GettingStarted\Solution and '\Lessons\LearningClarion\Solution directory. These are the files created by following the steps in the Getting Started and Learning Clarion documents.
There are two other lessons contained in this folder. The files used for the Online User's Guide's Debugger lesson can be found in the
'\Lessons\Debugger folder.
A lesson targeting the use of the Dictionary Synchronizer The files used for the Online User's Guide's Synchronizer lesson can be found in the
'\Lessons\SQL folder.
