I am looking into developing a db system that allows customers to look up order status via the web. Can DBMAN do this?

My client would extract the data from another system and upload it nightly, so there is no requirement for customers to add/update data, and don't want them to have to register to access their info.

The main issue I see is whether DBMAN is able to restrict access to data, so that a customer (using an order reference and name perhaps) can only see their information, and no other customers.

Not looking for details on how this is done, just whether it is easily done. Thanks.

Yes, it can. Just use conditional if and else statements based on user permissions, and you can restrict fields from being viewed.

BTW: The better forum to ask these types of questions is in the Discussion Forum. This forum is for discussing problems with initial installations of DBMAN.
