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.
