- HotSQL 1.0 - Package Notes
- --------------------------
-
- HotSQL is a SHAREWARE program that lets users access ODBC databases
- from Windows NT and 95 web servers. It is a server-side gateway that
- can process SQL queries, updates and deletes to any ODBC compatible
- database. Users simply embed SQL queries in standard HTML documents,
- along with special HotSQL macros. The software can extract data from
- HTML forms for use in database inserts, queries, etc. It can also
- generate dynamic HTML output for custom reporting and other applications.
- Ideal for company intranets. Works with all popular Windows NT and 95
- web servers, and with all ODBC capable database systems.
