Would anyone set up a Windows server in an office of Macs just to work with such a database? But the desktop version runs currently only on Mac, even though the server version supports only Windows. Having said that, I’m not a specialised DBMS programmer, so it looks pretty darn relational to me!
Yes, Ninox is capably relational, although I’m not sure it meets the definition of a fully relational database. There are some very nice features, including a kind of “slide-in” view of table > subtable > subtable where you have multiple relationships in a descending hierarchy (e.g. However, I’m still getting to grips with the programming, which is not difficult. The price for team-focused Ninox Cloud is pretty reasonable, in my opinion, but I haven’t experimented with it yet I’ve been toying with the idea of setting up our own server, but given the reasonable Cloud prices, might decide to host with Ninox instead. You can create as many views as you like on any device, however. There appear to be good reasons for this restriction, and you can force a device change, but this oddity does occasionally result in unexpected behaviour. change/delete fields, layouts etc.) from the device on which you originally created it. The only slightly disconcerting aspect of the standalone version is the fact that you can only make administrative changes to a database (i.e. One of the most attractive features from my point of view is the support for rich-text fields - and, of course, the very modest price for the standalone version(s) (macOS and iOS).
NINOX DATABASE FOR WINDOWS UPDATE
Ninox has been making slow but steady progress for a while now, and with the latest update (with GANTT, kanban, cards, full forms etc.) is suddenly looking like a very solid alternative.
It first came to my attention as a potential replacement for FileMaker Pro, which we’ve been using for many years, but which has become extraordinarily expensive in recent years. Ninox has a fairly well developed script language. The fact that the server depends on HTTPS and runs on Windows 2008 suggests they’re using some kind of web database server at the back end, but which one of the many I don’t know. I believe Ninox uses its own proprietary database format, but if you’d like to find out more, I suggest e-mailing the very amiable German development team, who are very responsive. > The FAQ says Ninox exports to XLS, XLSX and CSV but does not state whether Ninox uses a proprietary format or something like SQL.
> Would you mind opening a new thread covering Ninox? I find it appealing, I am interested in the CRM template. Sorry, folks, I realise my hijacking of the Todoist kanban thread with news of Ninox’s latest Kanban support wasn’t desperately helpful!
