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.

OPTIONS

   These programs follow the usual GNU  command  line  syntax,  with  long
