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.

At the moment, three databases PostgreSQL, Oracle and *new* MySQL
are supported.

DOWNLOAD:
=========

Downloading WWWdb

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 are helt in database-description-files
and the corresponding export-/import-files, ready for importing in one
of the supported databases.

The Perl-libraries, you will need, are now separated in an extra
tar-ball. You will find them in the download-section.

You can download the actual version (0.0.6) of WWWdb here.

If you need the additional perl-modules, WWWdb does rely on, you
can find them here. I have separated them, because I dont to waste
internet-bandwidth.
                           
New features of WWWdb-0.0.6:
============================

System:
o oid is no longer needed
