96 Part 3: My first database Overview To create an application with database, you must: • Create the project linked to the application. This project will group all application elements (windows, codes, queries, reports, ...). • Create the analysis linked to the project. The analysis is used to describe all data files handled by the application. Remark This lesson is used to create an application with HFSQL database. As already seen in the previous lesson, WINDEV allows you to create applications that handle other databases. The lesson "Using SQL data", page 442 presents the operations that must be performed to create a project and an analysis based on an SQL database (via OLE DB or via Native Connector). Creating the project ▶ To create the project: 1. Start WINDEV (if not already done). 2. Display the WINDEV home page if necessary (Ctrl + <). 3.  In the home page, click "Create a project" and select "Windows or Linux application". The project creation wizard starts. The different steps of the wizard help you create your project. The information specified in this wizard can be modified later. Tip To create a project, you can also: 1. Click among the quick access buttons. 2.  The window for creating a new element is displayed: click "Project". 4.  The first step of the wizard allows you to select the operating system for which the project is intended. Select "Windows platform" and go to the next step of the wizard ("Next"). 5. For this lesson, we are going to create a "blank" project. You can also create a project based on an existing example, provided with WINDEV. Select "Create a blank project" and go to the next step of the wizard. 6. WINDEV then proposes to specify the platform description. Keep the default options ("Windows 32-bit executable" and "Executable with windows"). Go to the next step of the wizard. 7.  The wizard proposes to type the name of project, its location and its description. In our case, this project will be named "WD My First Database". 8. WINDEV proposes to create this project in the "\My projects\WD My First Database" directory. You can keep this location or modify it via the [...] button. For the project summary, type "The purpose of project is to manage the customers and their orders".
