Check out the
Web/database Discussion Forum. Exchange experiences and ideas with others.
Designations:
4GL ESQL/C.
, - 4GL ( ESQL/C),
Ingres Tools Archive (F) (19 October '95)
- This is a collection of tools for using Ingres databases. There are a few
Web oriented tools here, but you have to search for them.
isqlperl (f) (1 December '95)
- an Informix/perl interface language. Requires Perl 4.036 and the Informix
ESQL/C compiler.
MORE (F) (1 August '95)
- A meta-data based repository using Mosaic and the Web as the only GUI.
The meta-data contains information about "artifacts" which can be on the file
system, in another database, or even another software package. Access is
controlled through user groups. The meta-data is displayed with a
hypertext link to the data itself. MORE is Oracle-specific, but support
for other databases is forthcoming.
MOWI (F) (25 January '96)
- A replacement executable for the wowstub.c program released as part of
Oracle's WOW package. Also includes the Mowi interface which is an html forms
based sql prompt. It allows you to type in arbitrary sql commands and have
them executed on the server.
Mini SQL (S) (28 August '95)
- A lightweight database engine written in C that has very low memory
requirements. It has a limited command set, but somes with utilities that
allow you to administer your database, as well as enforce access control.
mSQL does have a Web page, but this is the
ftp site. It comes with a
good user manual. This is the database my example Web pages use.
MsqlPerl (F) (1 December '95)
- a Mini SQL/perl interface language. Requires Perl 5.001m and mSQL libraries.
Oracle WWW Interface Kit (F) (19 October '95)
- A collection of tools for accessing Oracle databases from the WWW.
oraperl (F) (1 December '95)
- an Oracle/perl interface language. Requires Perl 5.001m and Oracle PRO*C.
OrayWWW (F) (1 August '95)
- An Oracle-specific gateway written in Oraperl that lets you generate HTML
forms on the fly, based on user input, but you can only use the forms by
calling them in other HTML documents after they are created.
pgperl (F) (28 August '95)
- a Postgres95/perl interface language. Requires Perl 5.001m and postgres95
libraries.
PHP/FI (F) (10 June '96)
- PHP/FI is a server-side html-embedded scripting language. It lets you write
simple scripts right in your .HTML files much like JavaScript does, except,
unlike JavaScript PHP/FI is not browser-dependant. JavaScript is a client-side
html-embedded language while PHP/FI is a server-side language. PHP/FI is
similar in concept to Netscape's LiveWire Pro product. If you have the money,
you run Netscape's Commerce Server and you run one of the supported operating
systems, you should probably have a look at LiveWire Pro. If you like free
fast-moving software that comes with full source code you will probably like
PHP/FI.
Postgres95 (F) (28 August '95)
- A freeware database management system. Postgres95 grew out of the POSTGRES
project at the University of California at Berkeley. If you need a database
and want source code to it, this might be for you. It's much more feature-rich
than Mini SQL, but requires more resources. Has C, Perl, and Tcl programming
API's.
QDDB (Quick and Dirty Database) (F) (21 September '95)
- QDDB is a database suite that allows you to create relations,
add tuples, modify tuples, delete tuples, and search for tuples
in a fast and very flexible way. Qddb revolves around the
idea of a "tuple tree," where tuples are stored and manipulated
in an intuitive, pre-joined way.
SQLGate (F) (5 January '96)
- a gateway for Mini SQL that uses embedded commands in HTML files. The
executable is only available for the Linux operating system.
Sybase WWW Tools (F) (19 October '95)
- A collection of tools for accessing Sybase databases from the WWW.
sybperl (F) (1 December '95)
- a Sybase/perl interface language. Requires Perl 5.001m and Sybase's
DB-Library.
UMASS Information Navigator (F) (1 August '95)
- A tool that allows a user to navigate around a relational database.
The Navigator is based on a meta-database which contains information about the
real data. A configuration file contains the opening screen information,
including the views contained in the meta-database. The Navigator
presents the user with a choice of these views to search within. Once in
a view, the user continues to make choices narrowing the search until a
specific query form is generated.
W3-msql (F) (27 September '95)
- A gateway written for Mini SQL that enables a user to embed mSQL commands
in HTML files and perform database queries on the fly.
WDB (F) (1 August '95)
- A gateway written in Perl which uses Form Definition Files (FDF) to define
the tables and fields in a database. FDF's are generated by scripts that
come with WDB. FDF's can be customized to use join conditions, hide
fields, format output, etc. WDB comes with Perl extensions that support
Sybase, Informix, and Mini SQL. Generates HTML query forms on the fly and
formats the database results. There's also a version to use with Postgres95,
but that's at another
web page.
WWW Data (S) (31 May '96)
- a shareware database system specifically designed to be accessed and used on
the World Wide Web. Specify in a simple data definition language the data you
want to publish and which end users (on the Web) are allowed to access and
manipulate the data. After that, WWW Data uses this specification to
automatically create the database, the required HTML form, the CGI
application as well as a set of tools to initially populate and maintain the
data base. Runs under Windows 3.1/95/NT, Solaris 2.4/5, and Linux.
WebinTool (F) (2 November '95)
- A generic WWW to SQL-database interface building tool. Only the INGRES
DBMS is supported in the current version, but it can be ported (without too
much effort) to other DBMSs.
web.sql (F) (22 February '96)
- With web.sql, you can insert database instructions such as SQL statements
and Perl scripts into the text of HTML pages. These database queries elicit
an electronic response that returns to the Web server in the form of pure HTML
text.
WORA (F) (1 August '95)
- A form generator written in Oracle Pro*C, which uses the system tables to
get table and view information, and allows you to set query conditions for the
finished form. WORA can dynamically find new tables with no setup.
Can't use multiple where conditions, group or order by, distinct, etc.
WOW (F) (1 August '95)
- A gateway that uses a cgi-script as a stub to call Oracle stored procedures,
then processes the output.
WWWBase (C) (12 October '95)
- A Web server and database combination written entirely in Perl. The database
portion can be used alone with a regular Web server using CGI. It hasn't been
released yet, but the author has a Web page up.
ZyView (S) (22 March '96)
- a shareware product written in Perl, allows the information provider to
store information in a database and make this information available to Web
broswers by generating HTML "views" of the data "On-the-Fly". ZyView uses
template and view files to present data to users. Requires Perl 4.036 or
5.001m.
