DBIx::HTMLView - For handling DBI relation databases and web interfaces
use DBIx::HTMLView; my $dbi=DB("DBI:mSQL:HTMLViewTester:localhost", "", "", Table ('Test', Id('id'), Str('testf')), Table('Test2', Id('id'), Str('str'), Int('nr')) );
HTMLView is a set of modules to hanlde relational SQL databases through a DBI interface and create web userinterfaces to them. Among it's features are the posibility to handle relations in the same manner as fields and it is easily extended with additional field or relation specifications as well as custom editors and viewers.
For a general overview description of the system se the README file, for a quick start se the test.pl script. It conatins instructions on how to set up a simple test database and then it preforms all the basic opperations in a comented manner. There is also a tutorial (not yet written) describing the basics of relation databases and how to build web interfaces to them using HTMLView. Finaly there is a man page for every package describing it's methods and functionality.
This package contains shourtcuts for the constructors of some of the basic objects under DBIx::HTMLView that is used to created the database description structure. This structure describes all the tabels in the database and there fields, and is then used as an interface to the database and the tabels.
For a description of parameters to the separate functions see the diffrent packages man pages, eg DB is actualy the new method of DBIx::HTMLView::DB. Curently we have shourtcuts for the following objects:
DB Table Int Str Text Id N2N
