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.
