What is NetQuery?

NetQuery is a program used to explore a database over the internet. It is intended to be easily useable by anyone, and does not require you to know the Standard Query Language (SQL) used in databases. It is a java applet, and thus requires no installation on the client machine besides the Java Plug-in. Because of this, the program can be updated on the server and new features can be added without the clients having to reinstall.

It also has been designed to work through most any firewall by using the HTTP port 80 for all its communications. Also to do this it uses a three-teir structure in which the client (to which this help file focuses on) connects to a servlet, which in turn connects to the database. The client and the servlet are both part of the NetQuery program, while the database may be of any type that has a Java DataBase Connectivity driver available for it.
