WEB DATABASE technology allows users access to a live database through a web page.

All of the usual abilities of a database, such as searching for information, doing calculations, entering new information, and editing existing information, are available through the web browser.

This means that any application that can be created using a database can be made available on the web. In fact, most companies already have many existing database applications that can profitably be 'webified.'

This page lists some of the general web database application areas, some specific examples, and detailed case studies.
