db_flay creates a practical web interface for databases with ease.
db_flay is an efficient tool that generates a straightforward web interface for various databases. It's perfect for secretaries who need to access, edit and delete data on a regular basis. Initially, the software requires the assistance of a database administrator to configure the script, but after that, it's easy for anyone to maintain.
One of the most significant features of db_flay is the ability to copy data, which is a time-saving function that many other database tools lack. Users can also view and edit data across multiple databases, with options for pre-defined queries, pre-populating form fields, and auto-incrementing serial-type fields when adding new data. Sorting is made easy with pre-defined sorts or a simple click on the label field.
The software supports wildcards and interprets characters such as *, %, and spaces as multi-character wildcards. To run db_flay, the script should live in its directory alongside configuration file(s). The web server should allow Perl scripts to execute in this directory, and while using Linux distributions, it can be put in the "cgi-local" directory for optimal performance.
The system requires the perl CGI, DBI, and Time::HiRes modules. In case the user doesn't have them, they can download them from CPAN. The latest release of db_flay has been rewritten from scratch using OOP Python, resulting in a more elegant and user-friendly interface. Overall, db_flay is a fantastic tool for secretaries who need hassle-free access to databases, and it delivers great performance with its innovative features.
