Summary

WebDB is at the same time:

• A tool which allows browsing and modifying interactively and remotely using any WWW browser many kinds of relational (SQL) databases which may reside in different locations and operating systems.
• A customizable relational (logic) database system with a WWW-based user-interface. In this case the internal databases are kept as WebDB native tables, which are stored as Prolog persistent predicates and can also be consulted/edited from a Prolog program or even by using a text editor.

The user-interface provided by WebDB can be customized for a specific application by performing small changes in its configuration files. Such changes can be made interactively through the interface provided by the system, directly by modifying HTML templates, or through a combination of these methods.

This document also constitutes an internals manual, providing information on how the different internal parts of WebDB are connected.

This documentation corresponds to version 0.5#16 (2003/6/17, 16:26:30 CEST).
