gentle-db is designed to allow anyone to create a
simple database for the Web. It precludes the need
to install and manage a database server and the
need to code an interface. The Web interface
should build itself automatically from a
description of the schema. Currently, the schema
is a text file which contains a 2D array that
describes tables and fields. The Web interface is
written in PHP for portability. The database is
any one of the DBM hash tables, such as gdbm.
