Unleash the power of your information

Markets for our HTSQL product include businesses, organizations, and governments that rely heavily on database knowledge to manage sales and operations. Our Research Informatics products and services are designed specifically for biomedical and scientific researchers, research institutions, and research funding organizations. Prometheus Research Informatics is used by world-renowned researchers at major universities around the world looking to simplify the development of web-based custom informatics systems for quick collaboration, fast and agile information management, and secure access to their rich scientific data.

Our HTSQL software was designed around a simple concept: the Internet speaks HTTP. Databases speak SQL. A unique blend of the two, Hyper Text Structured Query Language (HTSQL), becomes a translator from HTTP URLs into SQL queries, allowing applications to "talk" with relational databases over the Internet. Though it sounds simple, the complex nature of combining these two is a software industry first.

Here’s how it works: an HTSQL server turns HTTP web requests into the corresponding SQL, executes the results on a server-side database, such as PostgreSQL, and returns the results in a format requested. The current implementation of HTSQL is done via Python against PostgreSQL database using WSGI. But the best way of truly understanding how HTSQL works is to try it for yourself in one of our easy to understand demonstration.

All Prometheus Research software products are open-source at heart, including our successful Research Informatics software product, which is also based on open-source components and open standards used today by many world renowned universities. This means a research project or database project, and the precious data it generates, will never be marooned in a proprietary system.
