Super-screen to the rescue

One of the MAJOR differences between eoStar 2009 and prior versions is the inability for a SQL savvy user to directly update the transactions tables (orders,purchases, and transfers) via SQL. Of course, nothing is impossible and if you were a SQL expert, I'm sure you can find a way to get around this restriction. Although I would highly recommend that you refrain from doing so, since we had very good reasons for this restriction. One of the reason being a performance boost to the posting logic. I know to some of you this may seem like you just lost your freedom.

Never fear, Superscreen to the rescue! The Superscreen allows you the flexibility to make some of the changes that you were able previously address with a SQL script. As always, you can find the "How-To instructions" on our wiki: http://wiki-eostar.com/index.php?title=SuperScreen
