WhizBase is a web-authoring tool for building dynamic, database driven web content, requiring no programming skills.<BR>
The operation of WhizBase can be compared to the mail-merge function of any text processor. When deploying mail merge, the user must create a standard letter with spaces left where the mail-merge function will put contents from DB fields. This enables the user to create thousands of personalised letters, each one created by merging the contents of database fields with the specially prepared text document.<BR>
WhizBase works very much like the mail-merge function described above. The user first creates HTML pages with places where the contents of DB fields (or other WB functions) will be placed.<BR>
The user can then apply WhizBase to create HTML, XML, RTF (or any other text-based file format) pages that contain information by merging the template pages and the database; easy-to-use database management systems (for adding, updating and deleting records); content management systems for web sites; complex web applications or any other type of dynamic web content.<BR>
Let us take the example of a car dealership. Its web site should have an on line catalogue of all cars currently available. For that purpose, it is not very difficult to build a static web page containing all the necessary information about every single car. However, this page will need to be updated frequently, every time that something. This requires someone with HTML knowledge to update pages every time there is a change in the stock - an expensive and time-consuming activity.
Most car dealerships have a database containing all this information for internal purposes and, in most cases, that database is updated on an hourly basis. The easiest way to make this information available to visitors to the website is to put this database on the website, create several WBSP documents and have WhizBase do the rest. In this case, all the web page building work needs to be done only once and by simply maintaining the database (and this can also be accomplished using WhizBase), all web pages will always be up to date.<BR>
The example we explained above is a perfect illustration of the benefits of using WhizBase. Unlike other HTPP, WhizBase is not a programming language and does not require programming. It supports almost any database type including Microsoft® Access versions 2.0 to 2007, dBASE versions III, IV and 5.0, Paradox versions 3.x, 4.x and 5.x, FoxPro versions 2.0, 2.5, 2.6 and 3.0, Microsoft® Excel files, Text files in tabular format, all databases that support ODBC connections and any database that can be accessed using ADO or DAO objects.
The main component of the WhizBase powered web solution is a WBSP document - simple text document containing any content placed by the web author (HTML, XML, RTF, TXT, etc.) with the addition of WhizBase variables, functions and tags.<BR>
Although the WhizBase works pretty much like other HTPP, there is a major difference - with WhizBase there is no need for programming - WhizBase will do all the work for all of the databases (of same or different types). This leaves you with more time to focus on building a good-looking and efficient web solution.<BR>
WhizBase code has no start and end tags, just very simple placeholders that will be replaced with proper content during page processing, without changing any other part of the page, including the text-formatting applied to the placeholder.<BR>
Since all WBSP code is processed on the server, the visitors receive only the results of the script and have no idea what code was used to generate the page.
The great thing about the WBSP is that it can be used to produce really impressive results with only a few WBSP instructions included in HTML and it can also be used to build really complex web-based applications. We firmly believe that anyone can produce useful results in less than 30 minutes.
