Data Access Through the Internet /Intranet

PowerDynamo lets you link information in your database to HTML documents. With PowerDynamo you can create both static and dynamic Web pages. Dynamic Web pages are generated on the fly, returning information requested by and tailored for the Web client.

The PowerDynamo application server acts as an intermediary between the Web server and the Adaptive Server or other DBMS. The application server processes embedded instructions (such as SQL statements and scripts) and delivers the resulting output together with static HTML to the Web server.

With PowerDynamo, you can:

• Use wizards to build templates, SQL statements, and scripts for Web pages
• Modify source code for your Web pages
• Write scripts in DynaScript, a variant of JavaScript designed specifically for server-side scripting
• Configure a third-party Web server to work with PowerDynamo
• Use the PowerDynamo Personal Web Server to test Web sites locally and to provide offline access
• Use SQL Remote replication technology to replicate an entire Web site or portions of it onto a laptop computer for offline access
• Use jConnect, the Sybase native JDBC driver, to communicate directly with Adaptive Server databases or indirectly to non-Sybase databases using the appropriate DirectConnect server

You can store a Web site in an Adaptive Server database and manage the resources associated with the site using the PowerDynamo plug-in for Sybase Central. See "PowerDynamo" for more information.
