Excerpt of article text...
By popular demand, I will be covering the topic of database bindings. In general, bindings have been getting some good press lately. They are a way to have an object change its behavior without having to write a lot of code. REALbasic has really good support for bindings. Starting with Panther, Cocoa includes CocoaBindings, which are similar to REALbasic bindings. For a good article on the topic of REALbasic bindings, refer to "Control Binding in REALbasic," by Charles Yeomans in RBDTag by Tim. 1.6.
Database bindings allow you to do things like display, edit, and modify data without having to write any code other than the initial SQL to fetch the data. In order to get started we first need a database to use. Available for download from the RBD web site is a version of the "Northwind" database for the native REAL Database engine. We will use the Northwind database as a data source as we attempt to build a relatively "code-free" UI to manage its information.
