DTL Introduces DataSpot 1.1.SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 1997-- Automated Database Publishing Using desktop publishing to produce reports of database contents. See desktop publishing. Tool for the Web and Intranets is the First To Combine Free-Form Search, Programming-Free Database Access And Support for Multiple Heterogeneous Databases DTL DTL Detail DTL Drift Tube Linac DTL Diode-Transistor Logic DTL Designated Transit List (Sprint-ATM) DTL Deferred Tax Liability (finance/accounting) DTL Deputy Team Leader , developer of advanced database search tools for the Web, today introduced DataSpot (tm) 1.1, the latest version of the powerful programming-free database search and exploration tool for Web designers and database developers. DataSpot 1.1 enables database publishers to automatically publish complex and heterogeneous databases on the Web or corporate Intranets and offers end users a unique set of highly-advanced search and navigation capabilities. The product offers an outstanding search mechanism that supports semantic and fuzzy searching An inexact search for data that finds answers that come close to the desired data. It can get results when the exact spelling is not known or help users obtain information that is loosely related to a topic. and produces highly-relevant, meaningful answers. This search mechanism derives from an entirely new approach to database query and retrieval, which DTL customers are applying to a wide range of applications, including Web catalogs, Internet commerce, and various types of database querying tools and applications. "The DataSpot architecture enables automatic generation of a single Web View that retains the semantics of the original database or multiple databases--such as associations to table names and column names, or associations defined by table relations," said Eran Palmon, founder and president of DTL. "Once a Web View is generated, DataSpot's search and navigation functions Navigation function usually refers to a function of position, velocity, acceleration and time which is used to plan robot trajectories through the environment. Generally, the goal of a navigation function is to create feasible, safe paths that avoid obstacles while allowing a support simple, free form, plain language queries. The structure of the Web View then enables easy navigation from one data item to related ones, and provides context-sensitive queries which have meaning to the user." DataSpot 1.1 provides Web designers and database developers with many advantages and new features, including: - Easy access to database information via the Internet or corporate Intranets - Reduced cost and hassle of database publishing over the Web - Natural, intuitive database queries with familiar, Yahoo!-like interface - Enables users to naturally "browse" any database, without training - Utilizes database relationships for associative queries without user knowledge of SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. - Eliminates the need for custom database programming - DataSpot Web View allows searches across multiple, complex heterogeneous databases - Search can incorporate pre-packaged knowledge banks (thesaurus, spell-check, geographic proximity tables, etc.) - Allows database navigation by dynamically displaying hyperlinks to related information - More relevant, meaningful answers to database queries, via intelligent ranking and customized display - Now fully integrates with Microsoft FrontPage Microsoft FrontPage (later full name Microsoft Office FrontPage) was a WYSIWYG HTML editor and web site administration tool from Microsoft for the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems. It was part of Microsoft Office application suite from 1997 to 2003. and other Web publishing tools DTL is backed by leading individuals in the international high tech community, including Roger Sippl, founder of Informix Corporation, Vantive, and Visigenic; Weiss, Peck, and Greer Venture Capital fund; and Efi Arazi, co-founder of Scitex Corporation and founder of EFI (Electronics For Imaging). "DTL DataSpot offers the most compelling solution for Web designers and database developers alike. Its powerful combination of free-form, plain language search with programming-free database access and support for multiple, heterogeneous databases put DataSpot in a league of its own," said Roger Sippl. Added Jonathan Hashkes, DTL director of technology, "Unlike SQL- based database systems, publishing databases on the Web or corporate Intranets using DataSpot is an automatic process. Our users don't need to be database literate or have programming skills. With DataSpot, they get true plug-and-play database access from their Web browsers The following is a list of web browsers.

No other product on the market offers the combination of free-form, plain language search with programming-free database access and support for multiple, heterogeneous databases. Targeted to both Web designers and database developers seeking to publish multiple, heterogeneous databases, DataSpot handles various combinations of databases, including SQL, ISAM (Indexed Sequential Access Method) A common disk access method that stores data sequentially, while maintaining an index of key fields to all the records in the file for direct access. , ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) A database programming interface from Microsoft that provides a common language for Windows applications to access databases on a network. , and flat files. Publishing of the database is automatic. The process takes only a few hours and involves no special training, SQL literacy, or development effort. Built-in options allow the user to tailor the display to reflect the contents or nature of a particular database. DataSpot 1.1 is comprised of two modules, DataSpot Semantic Server and DataSpot Publisher. DataSpot Semantic Server runs on Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs.
