Ajax Query Builder

When studying my undergraduate degree in software technology for my final year I done work with JavaScript and creating a modern 'Ajaxy' user interface. At the time Ajax was very new and definitely the hottest buzz word of the day.

I done some work in creating a GUI that would modernise the interface in PHPMyAdmin, a popular database administration tool written in PHP. The goal was to create an interface that allowed the visual creation of SQL queries by dragging and dropping tables and fields names in a way similar to that seen in Microsoft Access.

The prototype for this worked well and gained some press on various websites including the popular Ajax website ajaxian.com.

The prototype proved to be very successful and showed that it was possible to create a rich usable interface without the need for external plugins such as Flash.
