Summary

As discussed in the previous sections the following modules are needed to build up a relational database system with an ergonomical client interface:

  1. Database server (see 6.1)
  2. Filters to import external data (see 6.2)
  3. Database query language (see 6.1.4)
  4. Interface application (see 6.1.5)
  5. Interface programming language (see 6.3.1)
  6. Interface validation language (see 6.3.1)

In the case of EAGLET the requested components are implemented as follows:

  1. Hughes Technologies' miniSQL - Version 2.0.3
  2. UNIX Scripts - written under Solaris 2.51
  3. miniSQL's CGI-interpreter lite - Version 2.0.3
  4. any WWW browser - e.g. Netscape Communicator 4.0
  5. Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
    - SGML Public Indentifier "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"
  6. JavaScript - Version 1.1
