Forms, schemas and DB transactions

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I have gradually built up my knowledge of how to do stuff in Drupal and have virtually always started the wrong way. Eventually a light bulb goes on and I get an idea of the power of the Drupal framework and API's.

I have just created my first db table in a module and am about to build forms to handle add, modify, delete datbase records and then I am struck.

I have just defined my table in a schema. I can write a piece of code to create basic forms from my schema with basic a/m/d transactions and then I can tweek if necessary.

Has anyone already done this? Is it once again all there hidden behind the wealth of documentation.

As I might have to do this fairly often as I am writing form based DB applications I prefer to create a tool rather than type carefully for days, basically changing the format of the same data.

Thanks for any feedback.
