SQL Yoga extends the simplicity of LiveCode to databases by allowing you to treat your database like an object. Stop wrestling with SQL and see how easy database integration can be.
SQL Yoga Key Features
- Set properties rather than writing SQL
- Define searches using english words rather than arcane wildcard symbols
- Manipulate arrays, not cursors

- Tap into database table relationships to simplify code
With SQL Yoga you focus on using your data instead of worrying about accessing your data.
SQL Yoga enabled me to migrate my application data from mixed xml and flat files into a sane, well designed, bullet proof SQLite database. In a single day, I was able to implement all my database routines, a process that would take probably a week without SQL Yoga. All this without writing a single line of SQL code. I can’t stress how useful SQL Yoga is, not only you code faster but your code is easier to maintain and you can focus on your business instead of focusing on your database - Andre Garzia
