Data drives many of the Web’s most innovative a
nd exciting applications. HTSQL by Prometheus Research eliminates the overhead of designing, building, and maintaining database integration layers by leveraging the strengths of the web protocol HTTP. For years, Prometheus Research has been using HTSQL to build flexible, adaptable data management solutions for the country’s leading researchers. Now let us show you how HTSQL can deliver rapid, scalable, secure web-based data access to your organization. Unlocking data means unlocking new business opportunities
More and more organizations are realizing that data is among their most valuable assets. Data access and analysis can help can help improve productivity, generate new business ideas--even be a source of revenue itself. For public organizations, sharing data can foster transparency and encourage collaboration and participation. But too often, the need to access and share data is pitted against other organizational needs like data security and IT resources. With HTSQL, you can put your data to work for you without breaking your budget or burdening your IT department. Access to data is at the center of new business trends and paradigms, from social media to collaboration and “crowd sourcing.” While knowledge workers’ imaginations may be unlimited, their technical skills may not be. Cost cutting and a chronic undersupply of IT talent can push IT projects months or years into the future. HTSQL is a simple, fast, and cost-effective way to put data into the hands of the people who know how to use it. HTSQL encourages creativity and collaboration without creating extra work or overhead. Data changes; databases are here to stay
The web started as a way to share documents, but it didn’t stay that way for long. Organizations wanted web access to data for everything from company phone directories to vast research repositories. Web-enabling a database back then could be a weeks-long process of wrangling drivers and code, then living with slow, buggy applications. After more than a decade, tools and techniques have improved, but the problem remains. HTSQL is the first solution to provide turnkey web access, freeing administrators to focus designing and implementing databases to meet security and scalability requirements. Of course, there are a lot of great technologies available to provide web-based access to data, including vendor-specific solutions, web development frameworks, and specialized analytical tools. Unfortunately, for many organizations, constantly re-architecting and rewriting applications to keep up with the latest technology and training people to use them can be an expensive proposition. Install HTSQL once, and you never have to worry about your data access layer again. Perfect for Web 2.0 (or Web 0.0)
Because it’s based on HTTP, the universal web protocol, HTSQL works anywhere the web works. There’s no client software to install, no browser issues to worry about. Install HTSQL, and in less than an hour, people around your organization or around the world can retrieve any data you want them to, in just the format they want—HTML, XML, and Excel-friendly CSV. HTSQL achieves this access without requiring you to change the way you configure and manage your database. The possibilities don’t end there. HTSQL is the perfect companion for developing Web 2.0 applications. HTSQL queries are easy for novice and “casual” programmers to create and use, and make code more readable, maintainable and reusable. With HTSQL, you can create your database queries once and use them again and again for dozens of applications. As long as the web runs on HTTP, so will your queries. So what is HTSQL? It’s a web technology layer that translates the language of the web (HTTP) to the language of databases (SQL). The HTSQL server is fast and easy to install and in most cases requires little to no additional database configuration. For more, see our technical information page.
