   | Hello!   
   | With Designer (and other tools) you can generate table-API's.   
   |   
   | When is a good idea to use it? I assume that it only make sense when have   
   to   
   | modify an single row by an   
   | Forms/Report or other end-user-application (for example web-interfaces) -   
   | right?   
   |   
   | Where to read more about it?

   i've come to be quite an advocate of TAPI's the more applications i've had   
   to maintain   
      
   TAPI's generated by tools are of course very rudimentary -- but as you fold   
   in appropriate business rules, having a single procedure that maintains a   
   table greatly simplifies maintenance and development -- and debugging. on   
   many projects that i've been called in on to support/maintain/enhance i've   
   had to spend most of my time searching code to find out what procedures are   
   accessing a certain table. if it's all in a single package, you've got a   
   nice clean structure to work with.
