using the mysql program - perhaps via litle-bell.r (a telnet client).
I've written a java server, which provides the connection to the database
for REBOL. The package is called "dbridge" and it has two parts:
- dbridge.r
Provides the dridge:// protocol. You can connect to a database using
something like:
open dbridge://user:passe/server/database
- dbridge.class
The Java side uses jdbc-drivers to connect to the database. It is works at
least with postgres and mysql. I am using both.
If you want this package, send me an email, but I don't have the time to
give any support for it.
CU,
Frank
