It runs SilverStream applications faster than third-party browsers do and would be a good choice for an internal company application. You design all these components in the SilverStream Designer, although you can also design a few of them using external tools. For example, there is a Form Designer for designing forms, and a Page Designer for designing HTML pages. Figure 1 shows a completed SilverStream application running in a browser. The form and the view are displaying data from several related tables.
Tables are regular database tables.
You can create tables and add fields to tables with the Table Designer. You can specify the relationships among tables and choose whether or not to implement the relations as DBMS-managed foreign keys. You can write your own Java code to implement such features, but by doing so you must bypass the SilverStream Server s database connections. Forms are, as in most products, the primary means by which your application interfaces with users. You can design data bound forms, such as a customer information form or an order entry form.
