Two general limitations

What you can do with SWF and what not.

The SimpleWebFront was designed to be an easy-to-use program that allows the automatic generation of a web-interface used for data management of a MySQL database. The process of creating webpages is supposed to be easy and fast.

While there are already many tools for that purpose the SWF tries to be a bit different then the rest.

The support of a certain form of joins comes in handy in many situations. But it is no solution to all problems, since it is still very limited and often you would like to perform more complex joins. The SWF cannot replace a full-featured domain-specific web-application in many situations, though the created webpages might be a good basis to start from. We will elaborate on two general limitations of the SWF in the next section and if possible try to present a workaround.
