August 2008: INSIGHT + SQLite = Database INSIGHTDatabase INSIGHT is here! SQLite is the fastest, smallest, most reliable cross platform database. It is amazing. Now it is integrated into INSIGHT! Basic recipe database functionality works for both level 1 and level 2 INSIGHT keys. This is the same database that is in your cell phone, PDA or MP3 player, it is super fast and rock solid. Read about it at http://sqllite.org. INSIGHT builds its new recipe database automatically and imports your existing recipes. The new Recipe Database dialog replaces the old Recipe Open dialog, the cache is gone, it is faster and the search tools are much better. The INSIGHT recipe database is in just one file, it is maintained in the same folder as MDT and recipe files, so it is easy to find and backup. INSIGHT now uses the traditional XML format recipe files as an automatic backup so you can actually erase the database file and it will automatically be rebuilt and the recipes reimported! The previous recipe filing system has not been discarded, but improved: it reads and writes all legacy format recipe files using a standard file open/save dialog. INSIGHT has always been targeted at ceramic calculations but now it also has the best database. This database opens the door to a whole range of new features that you will see in the coming year (many will be level 2 specific). |

What is INSIGHTINSIGHT is a classic ceramic chemistry calculator, it interactively converts recipes to formulas and back. The main INSIGHT window shows side-by-side recipes and their formulas, you can make chemistry changes to one while comparing it with the other. INSIGHT is also a library and a teacher: It puts at your fingertips a huge amount of information to help you learn the principles of ceramic chemistry and it teaches you how to adjust, fix and formulate glazes. |

INSIGHT was first released in 1979 and has been used world wide since. It is an excellent teaching tool for demonstrating the principles of formula/analysis/unity, limit formulas, LOI, and material-oxide relationships.
