Simple Web interface to database needed?

Thread view:

Barry - 23 Jun 2006 21:20 GMT

I need to put up a web interface to allow someone to key some data into
a database. Possibly with some simple validation and master-detail type
table relationships; basically the sort of thing I'd normally knock up a
couple of MS/Access screens for (yes, I know - but like I said it's simple).

Anyone know an open source package to do this easily? Preferably Java
since that's what I know but I could live with something else.

TIA, Barry.

I think MySQL has an administrative tool written in PHP. I've never
used it, but it's available. You may be able to use this tool straight,
just by adding users with different privileges, or modify the code a bit
to do what you want.

Sorry, I don't know about anything pre-canned for Java.

No I do not think you mean MySQL Administrator. This is a DBA tool for
managing a servers users, databases.. etc As far as I can tell it is not
PHP.

Off hand I do not know of any tool like the one you are asking about. It
would be really simple to write an Applet or application to do what you
want.

If you can not so that I can.. Maybe you can use my service.

Thanks in Advance...

Yep, that's it. There're huge links to it all over the MySQL webpage,
it's not like anyone could miss it. I didn't look it up just because I
was certain if the OP wanted a MySQL solution or something else, or if
Java was a requirement or not.

Thanks for doing the linky thing for us all.

Java Studio Creator is currently free although not yet open source
<http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/> and is
intended for jobs like this. It provides tools similar to MS Access
for designing data bases and forms to update them. To deploy the
application you will need a server that supports Servlets and Java
Server Pages or you could use Tomcat as a backend to an existing HTML
server.
