1. Support addition, update, deletion, searching and display of database records plus the image upload and display functions (limited to one uploadable image per database record, however multiple images can be supported under restricted conditions). You can use either tab, comma or space+underscore+space (" _ ") as the database field delimitor. (Please also consider our ImageDB database project service if you don't want to install the software yourself.)

    

2. Support large number of database records (1,000-10,000 records or up to 2-3 megabytes of data per database file depending on the capacity and performance of your server).

    

3. If your database have large number of records normally distributed across a number of categories, you can store them on multiple database files with each file representing a specific category. You only need one set of Html templates to support your multiple databases given that your database fields are identical for all categories.

    

4. Support large number of database fields per record. There is no software limit on the maximum number. It depends on the speed of your server. A dedicated server is much faster than a virtual/shared server. A desirable number is no greater than 30.

    

5. Support specification of compulsory and optional input fields.

    

6. Support maximum length checking for selected input fields.

    

7. Support specification of numeric fields for accepting decimal numbers only.

    

8. Support changing of password by the record owner.

    

9. Automatic recording of creation date for each database record as well as the last update date.

    

10. Automatic e-mail notification to webmaster on record addition and updates.

     

11. Support file lock and unlock features to prevent database corruption which could be caused by simultanteous updates by multiple users.

     

12. You have the choice to add new records to the top or bottom of the database.

     

13. Built-in multiple record types and status to ease record management. You can opt to set default record status (applies to new records inserted by your users)to "Active" or "Inactive". You can change the record status afterwards.

     

14. All database fields, screen and report layouts are defined and controlled by Html templates. It is extremely easy to add new fields. You can re-design the style of your templates any time you like to match the theme of your site. You can add new graphics, photos or change the layout of your screen without affecting the content of your database.

     

15. Optional security implementation. If turned on, each record in the database is password-protected from unauthorized access and updates. Webmaster can search, read and update all records using a supervisor password.

     

16. Optional referrer checking to ensure only the authorized websites (domain names) can access your database.

     

17. All database fields are searchable. Both simple keywords search and multiple fields complex search (using "AND" operator) are supported. You can even perform range search based on any numeric fields.

     

18. It is simple to construct a series of URL links (one per category) to request the search engine to display records of the given category.

     

19. Our software supports multi-screen search reports. You can tell the software how many items are to be displayed on each screen of the search report. Items in the search report can be displayed under alternate background colors.

     

20. Empty database field(s) (including the block of Html codes used to handle the associated fields) can be suppressed from displaying on the search report. This removes broken links when such empty fields (eg. image, URL and e-mail fields) are referenced.

     

21. Our software also supports multiple databases each with its own field definitions. If you are using them for the same website (same domain name), you don't need to order a separate licence. All you need to do is to create multiple sets of database templates.

     

22. The search engine of this software can sort the search result in ascending or decending order based on any single database field selected by your user or specified by the Webmaster.

     

23. Recently submitted records can be flagged as "NEW" on the search report.

     

24. Through a "Display New Records" URL, you can have the software to display all new records (submitted within the past xx days) on the screen.

     

25. You can ask the software to "exclude" a particular category of records when searching the database.

     

26. You (or your Webmaster) can attach predefined Html codes (such as the advertising codes) to each database record. These Html codes will be displayed on the search report along with the database records.

     

27. The Webmaster can delete any given record or a group of records via a "Batch Delete" Web interface.

     

28. Our software supports "GET" and "POST" CGI call methods. The "Post" method is suitable for FORM processing. With the "GET" method, you can execute CGI programs via a hyperlink (<a href=..>)

     

29. Our software supports English, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, German, French and many more language character sets via the setting of the "charset" parameter.

     

30. If "ADD", "EDIT" and "DELETE" functions are not required online, you can use the search engine of this software alone to search and report any comma or tab delimited flat database file exported from a 3rd-party database software.

     

31. A Web based BizDB Installer is provided for easy installation and maintenance. Installation of our sample database can be completed within minutes.

     

32. Each order comes with a detailed installation procedure and users guide as well as 4 sets of sample database Html templates (similar to demos above). Most users can setup their first database within a few days. No other database software or modules are required.

     

33. Most software features are configurable. You can turn them on or off at your own choice.

     

34. With some software changes (at additional cost, please contact us first), searched listings can be displayed on a "n x m" table (containing "m" columns) on the summary report (see demo here). Both the value of "n" and "m" can be configurable. If you have long database fields which are not required to be searchable, we can also help you to store them outside the search file. This will help you to speed up the search response time and to store more records on the search file.

     

35. For each copy of the software licence, you are entitled to support unlimited number of database applications (you can duplicate as many copies of our cgi scripts as you like) on the same Web site (domain name). (Note: To support database applications on different Web sites, you still need a fully paid software licence on each Web site.)

     

36. We have several valuable add-ons, such as "Login Control", "Password Retrieval", "Housekeeping", (they are separately priced) for you to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your database applications. You may install the basic version of BizDB first and then consider to add the desired add-ons one by one later.

     

37. If you order now (limited time offer), you can download our latest releases for free (we add new features constantly) for the next 6 months.

     

38. Finally you have the opportunity to order our affordable software customization service to add the following optional features to your licensed copy any time you like:
    
    • Direct the user to PayPal's merchant account server to pay a fee after his listing is added to the database and the listing will then be activated for a given period of time (note: a listing renewal process could also be implemented)
    • Support multiple user uploadable images (image fields) per database record
    • Generate "template controlled" confirmation e-mail to the user when a record is created or updated
    • Store long "non-searchable" text fields outside the database search file to improve system response times
    • Display multiple listings on each row of the search result report (good for displaying images)
    • Support multiple checkbox database fields
    • Generate static (direct link) Web page for each database record using the Html template installed
    • Upload a document file (eg. .pdf, .doc, or .ppt) rather than an image
