About Our Generator
Simple and Innovative tools are what we strive to provide. We are proud to bring you our generator and look forward to the help it will provide to you from this day forward. This tool has been implemented as the primary generation tool for several large companies. These companies have set up large complex batch cycles that execute this program to generate nearly all the pages on their site. This allows them to display the information they want without the risk of exposing a 'live' web based data application. These same sites have brought this information with tremendous performance, even though they are refreshing their site nearly continuously!
On the other hand, the same utility can be run from a simple PC for a single page by hand. The uses of a template based generator are infinite. Try this one: build a command prompt batch file that has template results, then generate a batch job to execute with a page being generated for each line of result. By doing this you can build a self building batch that constructs itself based on your information. Another use is to run the generator to create a delimitted file for down load of data or to be uploaded to another database. The entire idea behind this tool is to let your imagination run wild with uses and to deliver to your needs.
Features
  • Easy to install - The generator is a self contained program requiring no additional support libraries or registry entries to run. Simply place the executable in your path and run! All you need is an ODBC data source.
  • Easy to use - The generator tool and creation of templtes can be learned in just a few minutes with only a moderate knowledge of SQL and HTML
  • SQL based - Most folks who have a database have at least a basic knowledge of SQL or at least can construct a select statement. If you can you can use this tool. If you can't, we will be happy to help you learn the basics of this simple but powerful language
  • HTML Support - ALthough the generator can be used to create any text file, it has several special features to enable you to build HTML documents based on your HTML templates. This means we will use your model to build it and the result is nice clean HTML, just like you provided.
  • Command Line Tool - Allows you to schedule the creation of pages using simple schedulers such as the Windows NT scheduler or the Windows 95/98 scheduler that comes with the plus pack
  • ODBC Data Access - Enables you by providing access to all major data sources including: MS Access, Foxpro, DBase, MS SQL Server, Sybase, Oracle, Excel files, Text files, and many others
