Expert Software Systems can develop and provide extensive Database Solutions, that are incorporated as part of your Web Site, or custom client/server solutions on your own network that are based on Access, Foxpro, or Visual Basic/SQL Server technologies. Microsoft's SQL Server© 2000 database server engine and associated toolset are used as the basis for all Web database solutions, and extensive use of the CGI (Common Gateway Interface) or ASP (Active Server Pages) Web server protocol is used to permit Web Site forms to interact with the databases. All databases that are developed, are optimized for both storage requirements and access speed. The following is a list of Database functions that can be developed and incorporated into your Web Site:

• User Forms that store data into database - Custom entry forms can be incorporated into your Web Site, to allow users to enter and store information into one or more databases. These entry forms can include free-format text fields, text/numeric/date fields that have defined boundary checking, radio button fields, drop-down list box fields that contain lists of valid values to choose from, action buttons, etc. Information entered into these forms can be committed to a database, if all established validation passes. Extensive error checking/handling can be incorporated into these forms.
• Administrator-only database forms - Database forms that are only accessible by an administrator of your site, can be generated. These forms can be hidden from public domain and/or protected by a username/password scheme. These forms can be used to retrieve user-entered data, validate user-entered data, or add value to user-entered data.
• Secure Database Transactions - Our server runs under a secure environment (both SSL and S-HTTP security- compliant). This means that pages on your Web Site can be made totally secure and encrypted over the Internet. As such, any database transaction that contains a Social Security number or Credit Card number can be transmitted from your Web Site over the Internet, and can be guaranteed to be totally secure (Note that this feature will be made available in 4/97).
• Database forms which trigger Email - User-form actions (e.g., submitting information to a database), can automatically result in Email being sent to a defined Internet Email account.
• Query forms that retrieve data from database - Forms can be developed for your Web Site, that allow users to query or solicit information that is resident in one or more databases.
• Graphical images stored in database - Graphical images can be stored in your Web Database. Facilities can be developed that permit these images to be downloaded into a database, or retrieved via query, from a database, for viewing.
