HypatiaDB

This application provides the easiest way to make your personal and business data available via a web browser.

The design principle behind HypatiaDB is to make a simple clone of Microsoft's Access database manager. Much like Microsoft Access, HypatiaDB is intended for end-users.

You can easily create new databases, new tables and new reports. You can edit the data in tabular format or in per record forms. You can search, filter and group your data. You can import data and export data.

HypatiaDB is installed on a system which can function as a web-server. Normally, this would mean a Linux, Unix or Windows NT system.

HypatiaDB also needs the open source, free MySQL database and the open source, free PHP application server. Once you have downloaded and installed these, you can then download and install HypatiaDB.

You will then be able to create, manage and use your data from any PC running Windows, Linux, MacOS X or any device with a standard web-browser.

What's different about HypatiaDB?

This project wants to be an end-user application, one that any average non-technical person could learn to use and enjoy.

What's the intention of this tool?

Simple. The project aim is to create a complete, viable replacement for Microsoft's Access database manager. All the core features that users need in Microsoft Access will be available in HypatiaDB.

This does not mean that it will replicate every feature, but it aims to cover the important ones.
