Rochester, NY – The newest version of ARGen, available today, introduces SSL support for PostgreSQL and many bug fixes. Users everywhere have been checking out ARGen and have been kindly submitting inconsistencies. Today’s update to ARGen includes many fixes and is recommended for all ARGen users.
ARGen generates Xojo code classes and user interface elements to interact with databases with Xojo code rather than SQL. Save time and write less code by taking advantage of the ActiveRecord library which abstracts database interaction. ARGen creates the classes necessary to use ActiveRecord from an existing database schema.
Key new features in the latest ARGen include:
- API 2.0 framework support
- Multiple database connections in one project
- Verify class properties still exist in the database
- Foreign keys that are nil are inserted as NULL values
- Xojo Console project type
- Easily switch between project frameworks in one spot
