Okay, you tricked me into it. Here is a quick-and-dirty web-based
version in ColdFusion that adds (inserts) and lists publications.
(Search, update, and delete are left as a reader excercise.)

Can you not just write the thing without all the UI rubbish ??

1. Just manually insert the meta-data into the pubTypes table ??

2. Just manually insert a book/journal/proceeding into somewhere ??

3. Just separately access each record created by 2, and print the
properties to a dumb tty ??

4. Provide a printPub op and invoke it with each record created by 2 ??


For such a simple and constrained problem, you are not really trying to
provide a like-for-like example ... :-(
