Agave Software Design Announces SQml^TM-Web(sm) 1.0

DALLAS, TX - September 2, 1997 - Agave Software Design, Inc. has announced SQml^TM- Web 1.0, a new web to database application development tool that allows Web developers to speed the development of complex HTML applications by providing an easy and reliable way to dynamically generate HTML documents 'on the fly' with information from existing SQL databases. SQml^TM-Web 1.0 is an ideal solution for integrating corporate information sources, such as electronic catalogs and price lists, with Internet applications. In addition, it is currently the only tool of its kind designed to run on both UNIX and Windows NT servers.

Power and Versatility for HTML Developers

SQml^TM-Web(sm) 1.0 is uniquely designed to provide access to SQL database information from an organization's Web site, and dynamically update Web site information as corporate databases are updated. It supports powerful database query functions for any ODBC data source, including multiple queries in the same document, multiple nested queries in the same document, and queries to different databases in the same document.

A variety of features save time and increase flexibility in developing applications. For example, developers can use their own editor and Graphical User Interface(GUI), and type-free variables make application development faster and easier. Only a few new tags need to be learned to enable HTML developers to produce powerful, professional applications. In addition, Next N Processing simplifies response formatting to create custom reports - eliminating "go to" statements and the need to maintain row counts. With SQml^TM-Web 1.0, familiar CGI protocols are used to retrieve database information and generate HTML documents containing real-time information. To improve information security, SQml^TM-Web 1.0 allows developers to hide database connection information from users. Versatile memory management provides complete server control for reliable operation.
