Creating an external database with Javascript

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 17.2004

Hi,

I have kind of a general question. I want to use Internet Explorer, HTML, and Javascript to write some simple codes on my computer instead of using Java and a compiler. My problem is, I would like to record and extract information from some kind of data source using only javascript – a database that does not involve any other applications. Is this possible? I don’t plan on setting up a webpage or anything, all my coding would be used locally on my computer.

@KorApr 17.2004 — Yes, you may do that. See a basic example in attachment

  • - use external JS files.

  • - use a separate JS file vor variables only (database.js in my example)


    • You may modify on will (add, delete, modify values) on a single file, database.js. The chages will affect all the files. The js file can be open and modified with a simple ASCII editor as Notepad. The code is enough intuitive to be modify by anyone with no javascript knowledges. Take care only at Arryay structure (incremental values, the semicolon at the end of the lines).

    @databaseauthorApr 19.2004 — Thank you Kor! This is really helpful. One more question: Is it possible, using a form, to write and store data to the database Javascript file. I'm designing a library catalog, and instead of entering the book information into HTML or Javascript, ideally I would like to use a form page to collect the data (and update it). Then I would like to manipulate the data by calling for it with Javascript (in an HTML doc) and possibly another form page.

    You can not store (dynamically) data using java script (except, for some particular cases, if using cookies). A server-side application is the best choose.
