Announce: Easier way... Informix to Web...
Posted in 1997
If you're looking for a _much_ easier way to work with databases (especially Informix data) on the web, I would recommend that you check out WebFiler (http://www.webfiler.com). It handles administration - with adjustable security settings - from any browser and you can even have data emailed to you 'on the fly'. Also, it requires no programming or SQL knowledge; uses ODBC for legacy data access or its native, Fox-compatible engine for portability; has multi-user and multi-group security control built-in; runs on about any NT/95 web server; has a complete end-user, DBMS interface through the browser. You basically start with a working system and customize it on the server itself. It works great with FrontPage, as an aside. Also, it is the only system I know of where you can upload and download data on the fly (you will need Netscape 2+ for direct browser uploads - or FTP if using IE3. I've also used it with Access data and Fox data... very successfully. You can try it on their site and also download a free trial. Cheers Bob
