dbWeb Test Page

Thank you for using dbWeb! You can use this page to test dbWeb and make sure it is properly installed.

Before you proceed, please be sure that:

You have installed ALL of the dbWeb components.

ODBC 2.5 is running on your system with drivers for all the databases you want to access. The dbWeb setup will copy the Microsoft ODBC 2.5 files to your \dbWeb\ODBC25 directory if you check the ODBC option. This is very important since dbWeb requires the new 'System DSN' capability in ODBC 2.5. dbWeb cannot work with versions of ODBC prior to 2.5 due to the lack of this feature.

You are running Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 or above. dbWeb makes extensive use of NT's multithreading capabilities. Only NT versions 3.51 and above are safe to use with multithreaded ODBC applications like dbWeb.

You are running Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS).

The dbWeb service is up and running.

Sample Schemas

The sample database that ships with dbWeb is an MS Access version of the 'pubs' database that ships with SQL Server. The 'pubs' schemas that ship with dbWeb are examples that will work with either Access or SQL Server. If you'd like to test dbWeb with SQL Server, simply change the 'pubs' ODBC data source to point at your SQL Server.

The Northwind Examples below assume that IIS was installed in C:\INETSRV and that the Northwind example directory is in C:\INETSRV\WWWROOT\DBWEB\NWIND. If this is not the case you must manually change the path names for the DBX files used in the example. If you accepted the defaults for both IIS and dbWeb, the Northwind Examples will work.
