Abstract

Most Web servers hosting biological data limit users to a defined set of search options and output formats that are short of the whole range of options available to users with direct database access. However, to make full use of the wealth of data in the database resource, it is desirable to have an intermediate solution that provides a broad range of flexible query and output options through a Web portal. TableMaker is a generalized Web-based ad hoc query tool that connects to relational databases using the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API. It allows researchers to build sophisticated queries and select data items for display in tabular format through a menu-driven query building interface, without requiring users to type Structured Query Language (SQL) statements. A query wizard is included for additional ease of use.
