Mainstream Web Database Development Technology Research

Internet is the world's largest computer network, which almost spread all over the word. WWW (Word Wide Web) is a large-scale distributed Hypermedia information collection, which greatly promoted the development of the Internet, and become the most popular and most important information service in the internet. WWW can collect all kinds of resources, such as static image, text, data, video, and audio. Users can browse, query, and share the Hypermedia information in the web server through Internet. Research in the integration of web technology and Database Management System (DBMS) has become a hot spot. Database vendors also presented their products and middleware to support the integration of web technology and Database Management System, which enable these two technologies to benefit from each other, and enable the users to search the information stored in the database through web browser easily.Web Database technology is the product of the integration of web technology and Database technology. It greatly improved the storage, management and searching of the information. There are several technologies for developing Web Database applications, such as CGI, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, Java EE, and so on. ASP.NET and Java EE are used most frequently in the development of large-scale Web Database applications. With these two technologies, people have been debating which one is better for several years. I read a lot of articles about this aspect, most of them are focused on the holistic characteristics of these two technologies, such as the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), ease-to-learn, the portability of the code, the cost, and so on. They rarely compared these two technologies in the implementation of the software, such as the code to access database, the transaction management, and so on, which are the main objects to study in this paper.This paper first introduces Web Database technology briefly, and then introduces ASP.NET and Java EE, which are the most popular technologies to develop Web Database applications. On this basis, I implemented the Gas Line Accident Management System with these two technologies, and summarize the advantages and disadvantages of these two technologies, and the impact on the development of the web database system by comparing them in implementations of database access, data presentation, business logic processing, transaction management, and web security. At the end of this article, I put forward a new strategy about how to choose the appropriate technology to develop Web Database applications based on the characteristics of them as a developer of the Web Database application.
