•Dynamic Data Formatting: Quickly apply currency and date formatting and
URL encoding to database data or server expressions—without writing code.
•Server Behaviour Library: Use the ASP, JSP and CFML library of server scripts
to add basic server-side logic to pages. Make Web applications navigate through
database records, show and hide regions on the layout, and insert, update and
delete records.
•SQL Query Editor: Easily browse a database's tables, views, and stored
procedures. Quickly test any SQL statement to ensure you're getting the desired
results.
•Customisable Live Data: Test different page settings with the Live Data Preview.
From within the design environment you can see how various access restrictions
affect pages.
• Microsoft SQL Server® : used for creating, editing and manipulating database of
users’ information:
SQL Server provides extensive database programming capabilities built on Web
standards. Internet standard support gives the ability to store and retrieve data in XML
format easily with built-in stored procedures. It can also provide XML to insert,
update and delete data easily.
With it, it is simple to use HTTP to send queries to the database, perform full-text
search on documents stored in database, and run queries over the Web with natural
language. The access to data through the web becomes very easy. Moreover,
SQL Server Analysis Services capabilities are extended to the Internet. It is also
possible to access and manipulate cube data by means of a Web browser.
In light of the sensitive and vulnerable nature of Web-based e-commerce applications,
Microsoft SQL Server introduces significant new security enhancements, not only
offering the highest level of security available in the industry, but also making it much
easier to achieve that level. To start with, this package installs with a much higher
level of default security, taking advantage of the integrated security of Windows®
2000 right out of the box. This makes server lock down in production environments
easier and faster.
SQL Server introduces a collection of sophisticated new security features: powerful
and flexible role-based security for server, database, and application profiles;
integrated tools for security auditing, tracking 18 different security events and
additional sub-events; support for sophisticated file and network encryption, including
Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Kerberos, and delegation. This package has been certified
under the U.S. government's C2-level security certification—the highest level of
security available in the industry.
• Microsoft IIS® web server allows the translation of the dynamic pages (ASP) and the
publishing the web sites over Internet.
