DaDaBIK is a very popular and mature PHP application which allows you to easily create a highly customizable database front-end/application without coding. You can use it to create in a few minutes a very basic CRUD (create, read, update, delete) database front-end or to develop a more sophisticated database application.
No programming skills are needed to use it; if however you are a PHP programmer with DaDaBIK you can save tens of hours of work.
With DaDaBIK (differently from many competitors) you don't produce a PHP script, which would become outdated when you modify the schema of your database, but instead you directly use its abstraction layer that can be easily updated every time you modify your database's schema. More Info »
DaDaBIK uses the ADOdb Database Abstraction Library in order to support as many DBMSs as possible, at the moment it has been tested on MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and MS SQL Server.
The strength of DaDaBIK lies in its ability to be customized. For example for each table field you can choose:
- if the field must be included or not in a search/insert/update form and results table
- its label
- its content format (e.g. numeric, alphabetic, e-mail, url...)
- the HTML input type (e.g. textbox, menu, date, rich text editor, password box...)
- the possible values, also driven from another table (foreign key support)
- and more...
Other features include file uploading, master/details view, export to CSV, checking for possible duplication during an insert, authentication and authorization restrictions on view/update/delete, e-mail notices.
The graphic layout of DaDaBIK is customizable to help you to embed it in your own site.
DaDaBIK differs from PHPMyAdmin: it has not been created to offer the complete administration of a database, but rather to allow the creation of a customizable and user friendly database application. The target of a DaDaBIK application can be the final user instead of a DB administrator.
