<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In order to make an end studies</FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2> work in the domain of visualization and navigation into a
relational database, I would like to use PhpMyAdmin as a library. The purpose of
the work is to make another graphical interface allowing the users to navigate
through the records of the database following the hypertext links on foreign
keys, as it is now implemented into PhpMyAdmin. The difference with wath
PhpMyAdmin offers is that the users shouldn't have access to the
"administration" functions. Typically, it will work with only one database,
showing all tables and records and allowing to follow the hypertext links on
foreign keys (with some variants like not showing the value of the key (often an
id) but perhaps some other more meaningful value recored in the foreign table)
and allowing to make some SQL queries but without write-privileges on the db. No
other functionnality is required, the interface must stay simple enough to allow
navigation by many "not initiated to informatics" people.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Do you think using PhpMyAdmin as a library is
possible? Is it enough modularized to allow me to use PhpMyAdmin through an API
without much difficulties?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Do you have docs showing how PhpMyAdmin is
constructed? (Class diagram, include files diagram, a table saying wich file
does wath, a document explaining the structure of PhpMyAdmin, </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>or something else) If yes, is it possible to receive
this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) I think it would be the best to develop my
application using PHP but do you know if it is possible to call php functions
from Java? (This is possible for C or C++ functions through the Java Native
Interface but I don't know for PHP)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In advance, thank you very much for you
help,</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
