Viewing: FutureSQL

FutureSQL by Peter F. Brown, is a Free, Open Source Rapid Application Development web database administration tool, written in Perl, using MySQL. It uses DBI:DBD and CGI.pm.

FutureSQL allows one to easily setup config files to view, edit, delete and otherwise process records from a MySQL database. It uses a data dictionary, configuration files and html templates, and allows "pre-processing" and "post-processing" on both fields, records and operations.

It's very flexible and has a wide range of options. It can be used for administrative functions, but it can also be modified to allow web visitors to perform read only searches on data tables. It allows multiple setup files to provide different views or operations on the same data set. Thus, an administrator / programmer can tailor it to fulfill a large number of functions, providing a different look and feel for different web sites. Documentation is included in the setup file.
