Creating a
NonStop SQL
Pathmaker Application
The third sample session creates an application that manipulates order entry
information contained in a NonStop SQL database. This application uses two tables: a
parts information table, PARTS, and an order information table, ORDERS.
The user interface consists of four screens:
A menu screen, SQL-MAIN-MENU
An order information screen, SQL-ORDER-TAKER
A parts information screen, SQL-ENTER-PARTS
An order values list screen, SQL-ORDERS-LIST
Figure 10-14 is a diagram of the four screens used in this application.
