Step 4: Select Pages to Generate

Select one or more database tables to create web pages.

Iron Speed Designer provides a variety of built-in page templates that will automatically create web pages for the database tables and views you select to use in your application. Automatically creating web pages based on your database accelerates your application development by giving you these pages for any database table, database view, or custom query in your application:

Show Table page
Edit Table page (requires primary key field)
Add Record page
Edit Record (requires primary key field)
Show Record page (requires primary key field)

After creating an initial set of web pages, you can further customize them with Iron Speed Designer.

Using Iron Speed Designer, you can use any number of database tables to your application from any number of databases on the same or different database server machines. (Enterprise Edition feature.) There is no practical limit on the number of tables, and their related pages, you can use or reference in your application.

After identifying to Iron Speed Designer the specific database tables you wish to use in your application, Iron Speed Designer queries the designated database and collects the selected tables’ schemas as well as related foreign key relationship information. Specifically, Iron Speed Designer uses the table schemas in order to generate the appropriate SQL queries and database access code. Similarly, the foreign key information is used when generating multi-table joins and other similar SQL queries. However, the database table information alone is not sufficient to generate database-connected applications. Iron Speed Designer combines the database table information with component information (see “Setting Code Generation Tag Properties”) when generating your application.
