QZ Forms

The code is data

QZ Forms exists because I thought creating a data entry form on a website was way more difficult than it needs to be. Not that it is hard for someone with months of experience using some mega-complex framework, but too hard for someone whose technical skill is something other than the mega-complex framework.

To use QZ Forms, you enter SQL statements into a web form, fill in some forms to describe how the data is to be managed, and there is your application. It can be called a form generator. It also can be thought of as a command interpeter that gets its commands from PostgreSQL instead of the more common text files.

It is a fastcgi application. It uses PostgreSQL.

QZ Forms is:

15497 lines of c.
1410 lines of header files
625 lines of javascript
3079 lines of sql
