Qilan Overview:
Qilan provides a specific, focused and powerful tool for database and web developers seeking to overcome the limitations of existing products, who seek to integrate, migrate or scale upward from existing projects. Qilan communicates between single or multiple databases. It is also a database development environment allowing both schema and data access. Please refer to our supported database web page for specific feature support. Certainly there are other commercial and open source tools available, but we feel that the Qilan graphic user interface and tools save significant time. Web pages can be built using your favorite HTML authoring environment, then imported into Qilan. The Qilan graphic environment allows these pages to be manipulated and put into production quickly for complex web based projects without "coding".
Qilan enables web sites to communicate with single or multiple "backend" data sources. The Qilan graphic environment builds query and report logic that reside on the web server. This logic is applied across supported database vendor products. "Write one question and ask multiple databases". Queries can be sent to one or many databases over the Internet, and the results displayed on a single web page. Qilan driven web pages can perform updates, data transfers, and data synchronization between databases. Qilan is an ideal tool to build secure eCommerce and commercial quality data-driven web sites.
