Notes
- Scripting makes sense mostly in Qt5-based Kexi. Target implementation shall use Qt5's QtScript since it uses the more efficient V8 engine which will not been used in Qt4. Qt4's QtScript uses a fork JavaScriptCore and exposes internal APIs of JavaScriptCore. In Qt5 QtScript is a DONE module without (as of 2012) plans for porting to V8. It is too costly to standardize on Qt4 scripting and then porting to Qt5 (with changed API). See also Summary of QtScript problems in Qt5
- When designing the object model, try to harmonize with Predicate's API
- Use JavaScript notation as QtScript will be used to implement scripting
- Information about MSA equivalent names would be reusable in Kexi Handbook too, chapter "Comparison to MS Access"
