Features

• Absolutely no programming knowledge required to use POD. There is no requirement on SQL , Java, JavaScript or any programming/scripting language or skills. As long as you can design your own web pages, you can design your own online database with POD with ease, assuming you have read the instructions in this documentation. If you need to change DB data, it is easy because the DB file is text-based for conveniency. In fact, even if you do not know much about html and cannot design your own pages, you can choose to use the template pages for the sample DBs as your own DB.
• Use your own language for html interface. English, Portugese, Spanish, ... practically any language that can be displayed by your browser. You can even choose Chinese!
• Scalable. In theory, the database can support unlimited number of entries. In reality, though, it is best that entries are within tens of thousands. The searching speed will be limited by disk reading speed when DB size reaches more than tens of thousands of entries (see Search and Sort  for estimation on search & sort speed).
• No need to use external DB engines. The DB engine itself is in POD. You do not have to rent a server that supports a DB management system, thereby saving costs and trouble, truly making it possible to do-it-yourself.
• Multiple DBs for the price of one . POD lets you run multiple databases with their own configurations for the same web site.  That saves a lot of money which you would not want to waste on some other softwares.
• Fast deployment. After an initial learning curve for designing your first DB, designing any more DB will be nearly as easy and fast as writing html files using your favorite text or WYSIWYG editors.
• Automatic file upgrade when you install a newer version over a DB with old format.
• Free upgrade until the next major version. In addition to enjoying the already very low cost, if you buy version 5.0, you can upgrade for free through maybe V5.1, 5.5, ... until maybe V5.99. But you would have to pay a fee for upgrading to V6.0.
• More tweaks and tricks that you will learn during your customization of the DB, its interface and configurations.
• Details of the features are listed in the individual sections.
