i would like to have a single field (or log in) for the two
how can i connect two database to a single field and if a client or trainer logs in it will identify a user ID and direct them to a correct page.

Thanks for the very informative post.

Possible problem, this site is in the very early stages, it appears to be run by one person. I’ve seen many interesting sites like this over the years appear. I’d start to use the site and one day it would be gone and all my data lost. It seems that small sites like this have a harder time staying up and running. There appears to be a csv of your info which can be used to backup your database, which helps.

Also, there doesn’t seem to be a way for your site visitors to input new records, which means they would have to email you the info and you’d have to input it.

If you and your users put a lot of work into the database, how are you going to feel if it just disappears one day?

Nice idea though, I do hope it succeeds.

[…] Acabo de encontrar por la blogocosa una base de datos online, Lazybase, que tiene muy buenas pintas, sobre todo por lo fácil que es acceder a ella y lo sencillo que supone crear quitar y crear campos. Especialmente para soluciones sencillas de bases de datos. Otros servicios web de este tipo: Dabble DB (pronto haré un pequeño análisis, el más completo hasta ahora), TracksLife, JotSpotLive(es muy hibrido ya que aparte de poder crear aplicaciones también crea un wiki) o ZohoCreator.

Thanks for the review! I’m already addressing a lot of the issues people have found, and I have a lot of other plans for web-integration (like the bookmarklets, etc.)

Yeah, I’ve done my testing. Great idea, but they have a while to go, in my opionion. Great post though.

Lazybase - Not there yet…

This is a short post, but it interested me, so I’m writing about it.

Bryan Benzinger wrote a great post about a new application creator called Lazybase. He does a good overview and like him, I’ve been testing the service out. He spells out what ….

Thanks for the comment, Saul. Dabble DB is very impressive, but is far more advanced and flexible the Lazybase. Lazybase is meant for simple databases like saving records of members, favorite books, todo items, etc.. Both work great, but they are very different when it comes to capabilities.

Great post. I’ve been testing dabbledb for a while and I’m very impressed. I’d be keen to see if lazybase can offer the flexibility of dabbledb.

Hrm. Very interesting thought, Joe. Certainly would be something to have an easy manageable database inside WordPress for making lists, storing post ideas, references, etc.. Definitely is possible as a plugin. I like your thinking ;-).

But, if you wanted it embedded into WordPress to show a list of records on your site, then really you could just use Lazybase and their Javascript code to insert the list into your site.

Would be cool to see something like that developed. Thanks for the comment, Joe.

It’d be nice to see something like this developed as a WordPress plug-in.
