Exercise
Create a dialog-style application for adding, editing, and deleting records in a reference table, like the one shown in Figure 15.7. The application should create the reference.db database the first time it is run, with a single, empty table:
CREATE TABLE reference (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT UNIQUE NOT NULL, category VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, shortdesc VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, longdesc VARCHAR(80))
In addition to offering Add and Delete buttons, provide a Sort button that has a pop-up menu with three sort order options: by ID, by category, and by short description. All three could be connected to a single method using lambda or functools.partial. To make any new sort (or filter) take effect, you must call select() on the model. Use a QDialogButtonBox for all the buttons.

If the user clicks Delete, pop up a yes/no message box, and delete only if they click the Yes button. The application is similar to the ReferenceDataDlg from the Asset Manager application, and can be written in about 130 lines.
