- <H1>How to publish your Database on WWW.</H1>
- <HR>
- It is really easy to publish your existing databases on World Wide Web
- using FolkWeb Server built-in Database Connectivity.
- If you are familiar with creating HTML 2.0 forms you will not find hard
- to understand the following steps:
- <P>
- If you have not installed ODBC 2.0 software and drivers FolkWeb Setup
- will do it for you. FolkWeb Setup will register a sample MS Access
- Database ilar.mdb with ODBC administrator under IlarDtb name. You can
- find this data source when you double click on ODBC icon in Control Panel.
- <P>
- You should use POST method for publishing databases. In Action for HTML
- form you should enter the name under which you registered your database
- as Data Source and append it with dot and "dbc" extension.
- For Instance you have database file my.mdb and you registered it as MyDb.
- So in Action you should enter MyDb.dbc.
- <P>
- All fields you wish to publish you should prepend with table names and dots.
- For Instance you have two tables: "MailingList" and "SalaryList".
- First table contains three fields: "firstname", "lastname" and "address".
- Second table contains two fields: "lastname" and "salary".
- You should title your INPUT NAMEs in HTML form as they appear in the tables.
