Re: Questions about WebDB

Hello,

I have been using WebDB since the v2.0 beta, and now use v2.1.0.9.3. To answer your questions:

1. Build sites, yes, but you need to be user "webdb" to do it. You don't get the same flexibility in formatting the site that you would get with other tools.
2. Build Forms, yes with the WebDB "Form Building" tool, found at the left hand end of the righnmost group in the toolbar that is at the bottom of the WebDB initial page..
3. You access existing databases with it. You can create new tables and users in that database using WebDB facilities, but you can't drop them with WebDB facilities. You can create, edit and drop other types of objects. Database management in general is not done with WebDB.

I hope this info helps you.

Regards,
Mark
