Abstract

This paper focuses on information retrieval from relational databases on biodiversity content of flora and fauna in Malaysia. The retrieval process was done considering factors such as the databases are distributed, located in Windows as well as Linux platforms, developed using a variety of Database Management Systems and the structure of the tables are not standardized. Structured Query Language (SQL) was used to generate query, ASP and PHP were used as scripting languages, database drivers such as ODBC, Oledb, DataDirect32 bit SequeLink 5.4 were used for communication with the DBMSs and finally XML for generating standard retrieval results from the databases queried.
