What is WDB ?
WDB lets you provide access to your databases with out writing a single
line of code ( - unless you really want to ). All you have to do is
to install WDB as a CGI script on your HTTP server and write a set of
'Form Definition Files' (FDF's) each describing a different view on
your database.
WDB is not intended as an end user tool, but more as a toolbox
for the experienced web programmer. The main focus in development of
WDB has not been on doing the easy things really easy, but on
doing the difficult things possible.
In my experience in doing Web/Database interfaces for various clients
over the past 5 years, there are no such thing as an 'easy' web interface.
or a 'standard' one. Clients always has this wish for a specieal feature
that they just cant live without, and which is not provided as a 'standard'
option in your web/database interface of choise. This is why I created
WDB - to have a toolbox which can be extended, enhanced, changed, patched
and in other ways mutliated in order to meet the clients needs... ;-)
