Accessing Relational Databases from the World Wide Web

Summary: Cross-language variable substitution links HTML input/output to SQL queries/results, enabling Web access to relational DBMS. Implemented as DB2 WWW Connection, it enables rapid creation of form-driven Web apps where users interact via HTML forms and the system executes queries/updates on the backend.
