GDIDB Software overview, what it is, what it does.

What is GDIDB Pro Software

GDIDB is a powerful programming tool designed for creating websites from ODBC compliant databases, Microsoft Access database or Excel Spreadsheets. But its strengths go far beyond simply creating websites. Some of the features and benefits of GDIDB include:

  • GDIDB enables websites to be easily updated by non technical people.
  • Generating any text based documents including HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, CSV, SQL etc. From virtually any datasource.
  • Automatic and scheduled website publishing using FTP transfer of files.
  • Easy syncronisation of online and offline databases.
  • Web pages are automatically added/removed from the web server as the database grows/shrinks.
  • GDIDB works with Microsoft Access, Excel, SQL server, FoxPro, Oracle and most other Windows database software

The advantages of a GDIDB driven website.

Traditional content management websites use an online database to store the contents of the website. This has inherent drawbacks with regard to security, performance and syncronisation of LAN stored data.

By using GDIDB these problems can be overcome. The content management database resides on a PC on a local area network, hence there is no need to worry about the database being attacked by online hackers. The website is generated on the same PC and the pages created are then uploaded to the web server as “static” pages. Because the pages are static, they do not have to be generated when visited so the website will perform much faster. Most importantly GDIDB can link to existing business databases to publish information online.

Our GDIDB services.

Support for Organisations are one of a small number of IT companies that can develop websites using GDIDB. If you have an existing GDIDB based application and would like support, we can help. More importantly for new developments we can provide our clients with runtime applications which saves them the expense of purchasing GDIDB licenses. We have developed our own in house content management and e-commerce systems based on GDIDB which free our clients from the usual restrictions created by online content management systems.
