Netskills Workshop:
Databases on the Web
09:30 - 16:30 Wednesday 8th March 2000 University of Newcastle
Web authors and database users are becoming increasingly aware of the
massive potential for integrating Web and database technologies. There
are many practical uses such as providing cost-efficient information
services or intranets, revitalising legacy database systems, as a means
of managing Web-based information, and for electronic commerce.
This is a practical workshop for users of the World Wide Web who would
like to understand how to connect purpose designed or pre-existing
databases to the Internet. This workshop gives both an overview of the
different tools and techniques available and teaches the practical
skills necessary to use them.
One of the first courses of its kind, it is suitable for anyone
involved in publishing via the Internet or an intranet. Also anyone
involved in database development who wishes to consider integrating Web
interfaces will find this workshop useful.
Workshop Content:
The workshop will comprise presentations, demonstrations and
hands-on sessions with opportunities for questions and discussion.
Participants will each receive a workbook which contains workshop
exercises, presentation slides and other relevant materials.
Topics covered will include:
* Why integrate databases and the Web
* Static and dynamic publishing using Access 97
* Creating Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASPs)
* Third party tools for dynamic Web publishing
* Accessing databases with Allaire Cold Fusion
* Web databases on Unix
* SQL (Structured Query Language) basics

* produced and formatted both static and dynamic Web pages from
Microsoft Access
* investigated how to use Microsoft ASPs to connect to any ODBC
database
* an opportunity to design pages allowing users to search and
'drill-down' any ODBC database
* used Allaire Cold Fusion to connect an ODBC database to the Web
* explored the use of Perl CGI scripts to connect any ODBC database to
the Web
