FlatDatabase is a ZPatterns based product that allows zope users to easily define, create and administer table structures. FlatDatabase is based on ListMate - most of the documentation for ListMate is probably relevant here - see ListMate's homepage.

In addition to ListMate's basic features - allowing users to define columns in a table and add and edit entries, FlatDatabase allows you to:

• Export as CSV
• Import as CSV or any delimited format, e.g. tab-delimited (ListMate's import support is not as good)
• Sort by column
• Exploit the full power of ZPatterns, e.g. store your database entries in a SQL database

FlatDatabase ver 0.1 is known to work with ZPatterns 0.4.0 and Zope 2.2. 0.4.1 may not work - I'll upgrade my code when necessary.
