Introduction
PersonalDB is background process that provides access for multiple users to individual SQL databases. The SQL database provides a central internet accessible datastore for a variety of applications. In particular, the database can be used as a personal information manager (PIM).
However, SQL databases are simply a way of storing structured data. As such, a PersonalDB account can be used to store many different types of data. A PersonalDB account is an ideal way of storing information that should be accessible world-wide. Personal data like addresses, todo items, and memos are certainly are good choice. A PersonalDB account can also be used to store application settings, so that they follow you from computer to computer.
This site is divided into two sections. Users, people who want to use applications that make use of a PersonalDB account, should find the users' page useful. In particular, people can start using PersonalDB right away by using the HTML viewer. This allows users to create an account, login, and start working with their PersonalDB account right away!
On the otherhand, developers wishing to write applications that access a PersonalDB account should visit the developers' page. Developers wishing to contribute to the development of PersonalDB should also start here.
A web services application that provides an SQL database for each user. Users thus have a datastore that can be located similar to an e-mail address (user@mycompany.com).
This data store can be used to store contact lists, memos, and to-do lists in a manner accessible throughout the internet. The format for standard data is specified, so that multiple viewers are possible.
