Datawasp Database Manager

Datawasp is a very-easy-to-use, networked, database manager software that is designed for those who find a regular database too much trouble and a spreadsheet not up to the job. With data management, calculations, and reporting functionalities, it offers all the power of a regular database but in the style of a spreadsheet.

Creating database solutions using the spreadsheet style interface requires little or no training. The hierarchical modeling of data and the default interface mirroring the database structure makes customization easy. Modifying the default interface alters the database structure, which can be used to add calculations, reports, files, and rich text in any way desired. This allows for powerful solutions to be easily created with fewer limitations.

Datawasp databases are networked so multiple users can edit the data at the same time. Additionally, calculations are specified per column, so users can be confident that calculations will not get broken accidentally. Data design can be locked per user, preventing inexperienced users from damaging the design.

Datawasp databases are capable of storing files and rich text as well as normal text and numbers. Solutions provide personal views of the data (calculations and visual interface) for each user, allowing for the customization of how the information is used. Calculated values in specific rows can be locked (committed), preventing changes in source data from affecting the calculated values.

Datawasp solutions can be accessed peer-to-peer using a normal file sharing network or via a Datawasp server. The Datawasp database manager automatically backs up all data once a day, so users can rest assured that their data is secure.

Datawasp balances power and flexibility with the need for simplicity. While experience will allow users to do more complicated tasks, the software's user-friendly interface makes it easy to create powerful solutions from day one, allowing users to add features as they need them.
