FirstBase, a flexible, powerful Unix/Linux web/database interface.
Many web based applications need to read, store, and manipulate
a Unix/Linux database, producing dynamic, context sensitive HTML forms
on demand from within the same office, across the country, or around the
world.
Web based database applications that provide seamless web to database
connectivity are easily implemented with FirstBase using a
natural programming language,
dbmacro,
without SQL, perl or any other shell scripts, add ons, plug ins, or extra
software.
This FirstBase tool allows on-the-fly reading, writing and
serving of HTML documents,
images, forms and CGI (Common Gateway Interface) requests, as well as easy
data verification, record processing, and database modification.
Serving flying forms and flying queries via an http daemon is easily done.
Plus, FirstBase web to database applications can be multiuser,
simultaneously handling record locking from both web and Unix/Linux
interfaces.
To highlight the FirstBase method of web to database interfaces,
browse the sample applications which demonstrate RDBMS
record management from a web browser, dynamic web page
presentations, context sensitive web forms, as well as other uses
of database information to present and control HTML sessions.
