Database functionality and tab stops in fields

[Barry Levine]

G'day, listas!

Two sets of questions:

#1 - I've been trying to understand the scope of the "database" 
functionality available to me from within Revolution. If I grasp what 
the techno-babble is telling me, it seems I need some kind of database 
"engine" running in the background (Valentina?).

Is there some kind of "non-server-type" DB access available otherwise? 
Perhaps some kind of XCMD that would permit Revolution to "do the work" 
looking up the info in a local file? I'm thinking of something on the 
order of FileMaker as opposed to FileMaker Server. If that's not a good 
analogy, how about 4th Dimension as opposed to 4D Server?

#2 - (and this may be a feature request) - Sarah Reichelt was kind 
enough to detail a method of creating reports using the tab stops 
feature. It would be great if there was a way to specify -each- tab stop 
(like "30,100,150,100,150" meaning "30 pixels -or characters- from the 
left, then 100 more to the next tab stop, then 150 more to the next..., 
etc.). Perhaps this is what is meant by the "Table Object" I've seen 
mentioned on the runrev website?

I'll fill out the feature request at the website to add my $.02.

Thanks,
Barry
