- WebinTool
WebinTool is a generic WWW to SQL-database interface building tool developed at the BBSRC Roslin Institute,
UK. This tool was originally designed for the INGRES DBMS, but it can be ported to support other DBMSs (e.g.
Sybase, Unify2000) without too much effort.
WebinTool allows the user to create user-customized WWW to SQL database interfaces through a series of
user-defined WebinTool forms. A WebinTool form is a web page template written in HTML, a widely used Hyper Text
Markup Language in the WWW world, and webin statements. The WebinTool command processes these forms and produces
a resulting HTML document. Whenever the interface has to be changed, only relevant form specifications need to be
modified. Therefore, WebinTool provides a framework for both rapid building and easy maintaining of WWW to
database interfaces.
