Accessing DB2 Data from the Web Using Net.Data
Net.Data is provided with DB2 to allow you to create applications that access
data in DB2 databases from the Web.
Use Net.Data to create applications that are stored on a Web server and
viewable from any Web browser. While viewing these documents, users can
either select automated queries or define new ones that retrieve the specified
information directly from a DB2 database.
Automated queries do not require user input; they are links in an HTML
document and, when selected, they trigger existing SQL queries and return
the results from a DB2 database. These links can be triggered repeatedly to
access current DB2 data. Customized queries require user input. Users define
the search characteristics on the Web page by selecting options from a list or
by entering values in fields. They submit the search by clicking on a push
button. Net.Data uses the information that is supplied by the user to
dynamically build a complete SQL statement, and it sends the query to the
DB2 database.
A demonstration of Net.Data applications is available from the IBM Software
Net.Datapage at http://www.software.ibm.com/data/net.data.
Net.Data can be installed with a DB2 server to allow local access to databases.
Net.Datacan be installed with a DB2 client to allow remote access to
databases. In both cases, Net.Data and the Web server must be installed on
the same system.
