Types of Databases

MWeb Enterprise

For MWeb Enterprise, we develop a loader (the MWeb Preprocessor) for your databases and include it in the software. The Preprocessor can load data from most systems and formats, such as PastPerfect, TMS, Mimsy, IO, Argus, Endeavor, SIRSI, Access, SQL Server, Oracle, XML, MARC21, UNIMARC, MARCXML, spreadsheets, and text files. We work with you to plan the best method of loading each data source.

MWeb Universal

MWeb Universal accesses databases three ways:

Using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), a universal way to access relational databases. Release 2.0 has been tested with the following databases: Access, Foxpro, MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server. And since most museum and library systems use one of these databases, MWeb Universal can search them too.
Simultaneous searching of one or multiple MWeb Enterprise or PastPerfect databases on the PastPerfect server or your own servers. Now you can provide integrated access to museums based on region, subject, or theme.
MWeb Universal can search MARC21 files in their native form (no exporting or conversion required). Any number of MARC21 files, bibliographic or authority, and in MARC-8 or UTF-8 encoding, can be searched simultaneously. Later releases will allow UNIMARC and MARCXML.

PastPerfect-Online

Accesses a single PastPerfect database on the PastPerfect server.
