Re: web database

You should also check TalentSoft's WebPlusShop, web-based shopping cart with credit card transaction application, and WebPlus, web application development tool for NT and Unix or mixing NT and Unix.

If you want an easy to learn, easy to use, powerful, flexible, multi-platform web to database integration tool, you should definitely try out TalentSoft's Web+ (http://www.talentsoft.com). Using Web+, all you need to know is HTML and a little Basic programming language, you'll be able to build advanced web applications withing hours even if you have no experience in CGI before!!!

Web+ is a powerful web to database connectivity tool that supports mixed platforms (mixing Windows NT/95 and Unix). With Web+, you can connect your Unix/Linux (or NT) based web servers with NT/Win95 based databases such as Access, dBase, FoxPro, Paradox, etc.

TalentSoft Web+ is a powerful web-based application development tool for database integration, file i/o, CGI generation, Java integration, and email integration. It is a development tool dedicated for creating web-based client-server applications without writing low-level CGI programs.

Web+ enables rapid/easy creation of highly functional web pages which integrates with databases, file systems, email, and your legacy applications. Developing web-based applications using Web+ eliminates the need for CGI programming in a traditional programming language like Perl, C/C++, Visual Basic, or Delphi.

Web+ applications are written in a high-level Web+ Markup Language (WML), which is a combination of the standard HTML tags and the standard Basic Programming Language. Anyone who is familiar with HTML and Visual Basic programming will be able to develop web-based applications using WML in less than an hour.

You can use Web+ on Unix to access your MS SQL Server (or Access, dbase, FoxPro, etc) on WinNT or other databases on Unix by either: 1. installing a Web+ Server on WinNT, this way the Web+ Client on Unix communicates with the Web+ Server on WinNT using TCP/IP sockets, or 2. installing both Web+ Client and Web+ Server on Unix (the same machine) with a ODBC driver for Linux (this option requires Linux ODBC drivers)

The following diagram illustrates the Web+ client/server architecture and it's middleware nature for web-to-database connectivity:

1. Web Browser [any hardware/OS] | (Internet/Intranet) |
2. Web Server [any web server or OS, eg. NT/Unix] | (CGI/ISAPI) |
3. Web+ Client [any OS, eg. NT/Unix] | (TCP/IP Socket) |
4. Web+ Server [any OS, eg. NT/Unix] | (ODBC Driver) |
5. Database [any ODBC database, any OS, eg. WinNT]
