The Database Engine used by PlasmaDB: dbEngine

PlasmaDB uses a simple database search engine dbEngine which creates a searchable database on a World Wide Web (WWW) server. Data for dbEngine is prepared from spreadsheet programs (such as Excel, etc.) or from tables exported from relational database systems. As a Common Gateway Interface (CGI-BIN) program, dbEngine is used with a WWW server such as available commercially, or from NCSA or CERN. Capabilities include: 1) searching records by combinations of terms connected with ANDs or ORs; 2) returning search results as hypertext links to other WWW database servers; 3) mapping lists of literature reference identifiers to the full references; 4) creating bidirectional hypertext links between pictures and the database.
