ANNOUNCE: WWWdb - editing databases over the Web
================================================

Managing Web-Sites with a powerful database in the
background was the main reason for developing WWWdb.

In the meantime, WWWdb grew up to a powerful developing-tool
for web-applications, that are based on a SQL database. You can
browse and modify any data stored in database-tables and display
them in a format, you like. To check, that the data-integrity is kept,
you can plug in Perl-scripts, that guarantee that only correct data
is inserted in your Database.

WWWdb handles www-connections as sessions and you can
login and setup your own session. Everytime you come back, your
last session can be continued. Because it is password-protected,
no cookies are needed.

To link the single WWWdb-applications together, a navigation
hierarchy connects the applications, as well as the possibility to
search them by predefined words, using a search-engine.
BTW: This site is completely designed and executed with and
under WWWdb.

At the moment, the two databases PostgreSQL and Oracle are
supported

DOWNLOAD:
=========

WWWdb is distributed as a gzipped tar-ball.

It includes all sources, of the software as well as the
configuration-files and the corresponding perl-plugins.

The contents of the database (currently a PostgreSQL package is
provided) are in a single dump-file.

The Perl-libraries, you will need, are included, too. You will find
them in the contrib-directory.

You can download the actual version (0.0.5) of WWWdb at
