This project is about the evolving new ideas of the Web Database System. The technologies that enable Web database publishing systems include the Web, database, network, and electronic document processing. The issues include cross-platform operability, user interface, and multi-tiered client/server computing architecture. The operating system used in this project is the Windows NT server. Two types of Web server are used. The IIS and dbAnywhere Web server both provide the same interface to connect to ODBC. Programmers can develop applications through JDBC or IDC. Both JDBC and IDC support SQL statements for searching database on the Internet. JDBC is similar to IDC, but it is simple and much more dynamic in processing all requests. It is easy to write applications using JDBC, and it is easier to incorporate Java applications into the Web pages. The JDBC and IDC are not intended as a substitute for the Web database. They support tools to see how everything fits together. People will continue to develop other ways to connect databases to the Internet.
The arrival of advanced Internet and Intranet technology combined with the remarkable Java language has opened a new era in network database architecture. Database administrators and developers can deploy more flexible, powerful and scaleable network database solutions, while at the same time using the new technology to make development and management of these solutions easier. However, as a natural consequence of intense development in this area, these database administrators and developers are faced with an often-bewildering choice of competing or complementary solutions.
In the future, people will implement an elaborate banking system with accounting feeds, statistical analysis, and the entire trimmings etc. They may need different architectures. However, no standard method exists enabling developers to have the best answers. Many software developers and network designers continue working in order to have a stake in making their products work together.
