The NSG Voucher Specimen Database

The NSG voucher specimen database has been created and is maintained by Carlos Peña. This database is a dynamic web application able to process user searches and output information of our vouchers by creating HTML webpages on the fly, making it really interactive.

All the information is stored in a Relational Database Management System (RDMS), while the bridge between user and data is provided by a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) developed in PHP language.

In order to provide a better experience for the user, this database has inbuilt features of the so-called Web 2.0 paradigm (such as AJAX), which means that in case you have disabled JavaScript in your browser, you will need to enable it so that you can enjoy all the benefits of AJAX.

This database has been built with the open source software PHP and MySQL (as the back-end RDMS), and has been optimized for the web browser Mozilla Firefox. Why Firefox?, because it is relatively fast, safe and tries to follow the World Wide Web international standards.

Please send any bug complaints to Carlos Peña.
