I don't use ReStore, so I could be missing something. However, my hunch is
that _something_ should allow you to edit "meta data" (Smalltalk objects, no
doubt including Aspects for the various fields). With the meta data in
hand, ReStore could tweak the database structure (IIRC, it creates/manages
the RDB schema???) and generate the GUI elements and write code to glue them
together.
I'm trying to throw one stone at this problem and the "MVP is too hard"
complaint that we hear from newbies (overwhelmed by details) and old salts
(tired of writing the same method every time). The newbie and the expert
will have different needs, but, a flexible code generator should be able to
serve both of them via very different front ends.
Have a good one,
Bill
