Zoho Launches Online DB


Works with most commonly used DBMS platforms

By P. J. Connolly
November 1, 2007 — 
Developers writing applications with Web-based deployment in mind have a new weapon in their arsenal. AdventNet’s Zoho division on Oct. 4 released Zoho DB, database and reporting tools with an online twist.

Zoho DB uses a spreadsheet-like interface for simple data manipulation and navigation, and allows drag-and-drop analysis and reporting, with SQL querying of a variety of database management systems. The initial release works with IBM’s DB2, Informix, Microsoft’s SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase and PostgreSQL, or any system that understands ANSI SQL.

As one would expect from a modern data analysis package, Zoho DB allows the import and export of data from a variety of spreadsheet formats, and visual analysis features include the ability to create charts, pivot tables, summary views and table views. Databases, tables and views can be shared in read-only or read-write modes.

The company describes its new database as being more focused on data analysis than its Zoho Creator user interface designer. “This is data analytics for the rest of us,” said Zoho evangelist Raju Vegesna in a prepared statement. Nevertheless, appearances are important: Zoho DB is touted as allowing developers to embed professional-looking reports into a Web site with a simple copy and paste.
