How easy is it to create a grid form in nuBuilder?

The subject says most of it.

I want to create a (well, several actually, if it's easy) a simple grid form for inputting data to a database with the following characteristics:-

It will allow input to all the columns, so no special select is required - just a "SELECT * FROM tablename"

It should show a number of rows of data with a blank line at the bottom for new data

It should be possible to edit data in place, i.e. click on a field and edit the data right there, use TAB to move from field to field.

That's about it really, mySql database is fine though sqlite would be even better.

chrisisbd,

It depends how many records you want to show at a time, if its 100s then its probably not a good idea.
nuBuilder can do it easy enough but the HTML that is created would be big and the problem would be how well a browser can load and display it.
