End users of your applications are often likely to have some tool for extra data handling. They want some simple and easy-to-use user filter and they’d like to control data sorting. Building CleverFilter in your applications you will enable them to control the data.

CleverFitler helps you to set extra conditions for ready queries. Users won’t waste time studying the internal database structure, and you only need to set some fields in design-time, which will be seen in the user filter

CleverFilter is a native component set and its evaluation versions are distributed partially in sources. Registering CleverFilter you get full sources of components and technical support.

Dabo is a 3-tier, cross-platform application development framework, written in Python atop the wxPython GUI toolkit. And while Dabo is designed to create database-centricapps, that is not a requirement. Lots of people are using Dabo for theGUI tools to create apps that have no need to connect to a database atall.

Please see the change log for all the details, and grab Dabo 0.8 from the download page.

Currently, Dabo supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird and SQLite backends, but in the near future it will support all databases that have drivers that conform to the Python dbapi.
