One really interesting project that we've been working on recently
involves SQL forms that auto-scale for cell-phone and smart-phone web browsers.
These form interfaces make it possible for users equipped with fairly standard mobile devices to securely connect to, search, and update information in SQL databases.
  • connect to ODBC data sources (SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, etc..)
  • create, read, update, and delete records (with sufficient privileges)
  • search huge record sets instantly using advanced query controls
  • standard HTML and CSS connected to ASP, NET, or PHP servers
  • ultra-easy deployment with zero configuration requirements
Because information is always viewed in real time (not cached in an off-line copy)
there is no need to load proprietary applications onto the mobile device and no
need to dock the device to a computer in order to synchronize changes.
Also, these forms interfaces auto-size to the screen they are being viewed on so
you can optionally use a full-size monitor to search and edit information.
