Thanks to everyone who beta-tested MWeb Universal! We are now beta-testing Release 2.0, which provides federated/integrated searching of any number of databases on any number of Windows web-servers.
MWeb Universal has been tested with 50 databases, and with SQL Server, MySQL, Foxpro, Access, and Oracle. Collections management or content management systems using these or any other standard database system can be searched. In addition, you may search library MARC21 files, PastPerfect-Online, and MWeb Enterprise databases at the same time. Databases and MARC files need not be exported or converted -- they are searched in their native form. This is ideal for consortia, since there is no need to send files to a central server. MWeb Universal cannot and does not make any changes at all to your existing systems or databases. This is an open beta -- anyone can participate. We welcome all comments and suggestions. Our sincere thanks and a free copy goes to all those who provide feedback on the beta. For more information, please see http://systemsplanning.com/mweb/universal.asp Thank you!
