![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Product InformationTango is the fastest and easiest way for Web administrators to create Web solutions that require database connectivity including:
Tango is a full-featured visual development tool that integrates ODBC-compliant SQL databases, such as Oracle, Informix, Sybase, SQL Server and Butler SQL, with Web servers. Tango lets Web administrators rapidly create Web applications that access databases without writing any SQL (Structured Query Language) or HTML (HyperText Markup Language) code. Tango provides a whole new level of functionality for Web developers! The Tango Application Server & Editor Tango comprises two components: the Tango Application Server and the Tango Editor. The Tango Application Server is a multi-purpose, industry standard, common gateway interface (CGI) that links a Web server to a SQL database. What the Tango Application Server processes when you call it, is determined by query documents created in Tango Editor. Written in C++, the Tango Application Server is asynchronous and threaded, resulting in extremely fast multi-user access to any number of databases. Tango Editor is an intuitive graphical development environment used to create query documents. Tango Editor's intuitive interface lets you construct Web/database solutions in minutes and hours rather than the days and weeks it would normally take to program custom CGIs in C/C++, PERL or AppleScript. Query Builders
The Search Query Builder allows you to create simple search pages, along with the associated record list and detail pages. The detail page can be constructed to allow users to update or delete found records. The search columns are specified using simple drag-and-drop (as shown above). Construction of the record list and detail pages are just as simple. You have full control over how the pages are formatted and how the columns are searched (default values, searches based on Web browser parameters, etc.) Any place forms are used, Tango Editor lets you select from the following form field types: text, checkbox, pop-up menu, selection list and radio buttons. When you're done, simply save the query document--Tango Editor generates all the query actions and HTML for you. The New Record Query Builder allows you to create data entry Web pages just as easily. Drag in the entry columns, choose a formatting style, mark appropriate columns as being required, and enter a result message. It's that easy! Query Documents
If you want even more control over query operation and results formatting, you
can edit the query document generated by a Query Builder, or create one from
scratch. By creating and editing query documents, you can build database-access
solutions that go beyond the basic functionality of the Query Builders. For
example, you can perform a series of database operations, each of which can
return database results to the user.
The format of the database results is completely customizable, with both standard HTML formatting and special HTML meta-tags for database columns, variables, etc. For example, if you were to perform a search on retail store branches, and wanted the results to appear as a list of matches that display the city, street address and phone number of the branch, the HTML code would look like this:
With query documents you can include custom SQL procedure calls to perform more advanced data processing. Tango Features
