Qilan Overview:
Qilan provides a powerful tool for web developers seeking to overcome the
limitations of existing products, who seek to integrate, migrate or scale
upward from existing web projects. Web pages can be built using your
favorite HTML authoring environment, then imported into Qilan. The Qilan
graphic environment allows for complex web based projects without “coding”.
Web hosting providers wishing to harness the power of OS X can use Tenon
Intersystems iTools 6.5 with Qilan to provide secure eCommerce and
commercial quality content delivery.
Qilan allows web sites to communicate with single or multiple “backend”
data sources. The Qilan graphic environment builds query and report logic
that reside on the web server. This logic is applied across supported
database vendor products. “Write one question and ask multiple
databases”.Queries can be sent to one or many databases over the Internet,
and the results displayed on a single web page. Qilan driven web pages can
perform updates, data transfers, and data synchronization between databases.
Supported databases:
* Filemaker Pro
* Frontbase
* Helix Server
* Informix
* MS Access
* MS SQL Server
* Openbase
* Oracle
* Paradox
The Qilan development environment is a native Mac OS X application.
Database communication is multiplatform using JDBC. CommonGround Softworks
Inc. develops software focused on Internet database connectivity for the
Mac OS.
