About on-device database lookups
Pylon Pro custom database functionality is extended with the addition
of the database lookup feature. The database lookup feature allows one
custom database to access both the view and the data of one or more
custom databases.
Lookups are an extension to the keyword functionality. The database
lookup field allows one database to treat any view in a Pylon Pro
database as a user modifiable keyword list.
Another difference between normal keyword fields and lookup fields is
the amount of data that can be brought back by a lookup. In a normal
keyword field selection, only the keyword field is updated. However, in
the case of a lookup field, the lookup operation can update more than
just the lookup field; the mechanism supports the ability to update
additional fields in the same form.
