This looks like a great time saver. Would love to see more helpful classes like this shipped with the product. For example I'm still using the deprecated Task class but would be great to have a modern version of it!

I’m just checking out DBKit. Looks great.
This was the one key feature I missed in Xojo for RAD.
I’ve watched many videos in the past about solutions like that and actually thought about developing something myself.
One question about multi platform:
Why don’t you use a Class Interface for the controls like Bob Gordon suggested in „Rapid Database Development“?

With Xojo 2023 r4 the Desktop example does not compile...

Question: can dbkit be used for multiple databases in a single application?

i wonder if the sql parameters are being sanitized before the sql query or we do it manually?

[LanceDarby]

Question: will dbkit work with a table using a varchar column as the primary key?

FWIW, I've just downloaded 2023 R2 and there's no Examples folder so no DBKit available. I downloaded the DBKit resources from the Xojo site, but it doesn't include the module or example projects.
