The Power of Gyxi Views

Gyxi is fast and affordable, but these are hygiene factors and they are unimportant unless Gyxi is also powerful and useful.

This is the role of Gyxi Views.

Saving one or more items in a database is relatively uncomplicated. It gets complicated when having to make complex queries to retrieve that data and that is also where using a database can become slow and thus useless.

That is why there are no queries in Gyxi. Instead there are only Views. For any query you want to make against your data in Gyxi, you have to define a view. This view will then be like a prepared query. It will contain the right data in the right order, organized in the right way, placed exactly how you are going to use it.

If the view doesn’t match what you want the solution is simple. Create another view.

You can create any view you want, but we did define some typical scenarios or “view types” which make it easy to understand how views work.
