leading provider of easy-to-use, world-class open-source software, today<br />
began shipping their OpenDB 2.1 CD.</p>
<p>The OpenDB CD transforms a Macintosh running Mac OS X (10.1.x) into a world<br />
class dynamic Enterprise Intranet server with SQL (structured query<br />
language) backends with web based graphical user interface frontends.</p>
<p>The OpenDB 2.1 CD will install a suite of powerful web and database<br />
applications with the ease that one might expect as a Macintosh user.</p>
<p>OpenOSX's OpenDB CD installs and perhaps most importantly, correctly<br />
configures the following popular programs. The programs work with Mac OS X<br />
10.1.x:</p>
<p> * MySQL 3.23.46<br />
* PostgreSQL 7.1.3<br />
* phpMyAdmin 2.2.2<br />
* phpPgAdmin 2.2.0<br />
* MyODBC 2.50.38<br />
* iODBC 3.0.5<br />
* Apache Web Server 1.3.22<br />
* PHP 4.1.1<br />
* pdf_lib 4.0.1 (demo mode)<br />
* Free Type 2<br />
* GD 1.8.4</p>
<p>The OpenDB CD is bundled with complete documentation in HTML and PDF<br />
formats, limited technical support and completely configured source code<br />
along with de-installation software.</p>
<p>phpMyAdmin/phpPgAdmin are browser-based interfaces that allow you to<br />
accomplish most day-to-day database administration tasks from the comfort<br />
of any browser on the network. phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin offer the<br />
following functionality:</p>
<p>* Import/Export text data into tables, including CSV (Comma Separated Values)</p>
<p>* Create and dump (export) schema of tables, to CSV, or custom</p>
<p>* Create and drop databases</p>
<p>* Create, copy, drop and alter tables</p>
<p>* Delete, edit and add fields</p>
<p>* Manage keys on fields</p>
<p>* Execute SQL-statements, even batch query</p>
<p>* create and read dumps of tables</p>
<p>* administer multiple servers and single databases</p>
<p>MyODBC/iODBC are standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)<br />
for accessing information from different database systems and storage<br />
formats.</p>
<p>Apache Web Server is the robust, full-featured web server that serves the<br />
majority of the World's web content.</p>
<p>PHP is an industry-strength cross-platform server-side scripting language,<br />
with which you can easily create and serve dynamically generated web pages.<br />
OpenOSX has built PHP with support for PDF Lib (in demo mode), XML, WDDX,<br />
Regex Library, MySQL and PostgreSQL, Perl Compatible Regular Expressions,<br />
ODBC, GD, FTP, EXIF, CURL, BC Math and ZLib.</p>
<p>PDF_lib allows the creation of dynamic PDF files. PDF_lib enables the<br />
writing, creation and manipulation of PDF files. This version of PDF_lib is<br />
a demo version.</p>
<p>* MySQL is for serving databases on the Internet and enterprise LAN/WANs.<br />
* PostgreSQL is a popular alternative to MySQL.<br />
* WebCalendar is a web based personal calendar.<br />
* FreeType is a software font engine supporting a myriad of font formats,<br />
that is capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images).</p>
<p>The OpenDB CD is shipping immediately for US$30 and 6-Month<br />
CD-Subscriptions are available for US$80.</p>
<p>More information about the OpenOSX OpenDB CD is available electronically on<br />
the World Wide Web at: (<a href="http://OpenOSX.com/database/" title="http://OpenOSX.com/database/">http://OpenOSX.com/database/</a>)</p>
<p>OpenOSX.com is a company dedicated to serving the Macintosh community. The<br />
CEO of OpenOSX, Jeshua Lacock stated, "As a former professional system<br />
administrator, I realize that many computer users loathe the 'Unix'<br />
command-line and we are dedicated to bringing popular Unix software to the<br />
Unix-challenged' and seasoned system administrators alike.</p>
