One aspect of WebDB morphed into portal ... and I constantly grumbled that the 'self serve database' aspect was buried or forgotten as I thought it was a real competitor to MS Access.
The original WebDB had [at least] two distinct sides. In functionality, although perhaps not from the same software or development team: one side was effectively the predecessor to Portal; and the other the predecessor to HTMLDB. I have no idea whether any of the original WebDB code made it to HTMLDB or whether the current HTMLDB team even looked at WebDB. Nevertheless, I was overjoyed that the concept was again alive, regaradless of actual s/w lineage.
