Abstract :
The increasing use of the World Wide Web (WWW or Web) for information retrieval from information systems has created a demand for Web to database interface building tools. The requirements for such a building tool is analysed and a framework (WebinTool) for rapid building and easy maintenance of Web interfaces is presented. The key component of the WebinTool is an interface tool language which mainly consists of the HTML statements and dedicated SQL-based data manipulation statements. Using this language, a variety of user-customized Web interfaces can be created
