NAME

       glom — database designer and user interface

SYNOPSIS

       glom

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the glom command.

       This manual page was written for the Ubuntu distribution because the original program does
       not have a manual page.

       With glom you can design table  definitions  and  the  relationships  between  them,  plus
       arrange  the  fields  on the screen. You can edit and search the data in those tables, and
       specify field values in terms of other fields. It's as easy as it should be.

       The design is loosely based on FileMaker Pro,  with  the  added  advantage  of  separation
       between  interface  and  data.  Its  simple  framework  should be enough to implement most
       database applications. Without Glom these systems normally consist of lots of  repetitive,
       unmaintainable code.
