So, I had this thought as once suggested by Jocelyn, but wondered how it might work.

I know this is not a natural function of J-Cook.

To break down a large project into smaller manageable chunks it might be good to create several Projects (Components) and have each handle different functions - However; that would require that they all shared the same Database and Tables for consistency.

If I create 2 Projects (2 Components) and give them each the same Table name and Field Names I assume that I would have to change the actual Database names to match (after Downloading Projects).

Where in the project should I look to identify the Database? And in theory would this work as described?

Food for thought.

Hi edward,

Cook does not support this for the moment.

TODO :
Once your component is created,
1. Delete the lines that creates the database tables in your installation file.
2. Rename the table name in the table files (PHP) of your component.(constructor)
3. Make a search and rename tables names in SQL queries
4. That's all ;-)

(I am quite sure you should rename the tables because of the alias prfix of your project)
Coding is now a piece of cake

I have do it the same way and it works.
But I had problems with case sensitiv fields in the table.
The fields were not shown in my component. So I have renamed all table fields.
J-Cook doesn't use case senstivite tabel fields. Is that correct? Will this be possible in the future?

  I found "cook" two days ago. Played around with it for a day and then within a day got rid of two legacy applications in IBM Lotus Domino Notes and replaced them with "cook". It was really easy. A piece of cake. Actually it was even easier than cooking. Cooking involves more work than developing with "cook". What can I say about "cook"? Great application great price for what it delivers great forum with a lot of information and fast responses active and friendly community fast forward moving development cycle So what should I say "Monsieur Le Cook"? Keep the good work going it will lead to success. Having become a paying member in the words of Edith Piaf may I say ..... non rien de rien ... je ne regrette rien. Vive La France.
