Database connection

 [1/6] from: kevin:wise:mtifwb at: 25-Aug-2003 8:21


Hey I am brand new to Rebol and would like to access records of a sql server database which contains a series of urls. Is is possible to do an odbc connection to a sql server database with rebol? Kevin Wise

I think you could do that with Rebol/Command that is not free. But now there's a protocol for odbc connection that is free of rights. Check it out here http://www.rebolfrance.net/articles/odbcsockserv/odbcsockserv.html . It's in French. But i dont know if you can interact with a SQL Server.

Hi Kevin: If MySql or PostreSql works for you and you can use a TCP/IP connection instead, check out http://rebol.softinnov.org/mysql/main.html We use this all the time. It is a wonderful, high-performance driver. Highly recommended. I have seen experimental socket code to connect to MS-Sql server, I believe that I may have it archived somewhere, if you're interested. tim

That would be great Tim. Once I get the script up and running I will be glad to pass it on to all who are interested. As I indicated I am new at Rebol and have a lot to learn. I have used nql in the past for much of the tasks I am trying to replicate.

Kevin: If I understand you correctly, you're interested in looking at the 'experimental' script that I referred to. I will try to find it later today. However, if you want to go the TCP/IP route and want to see some tried and true code, go to DocKimbel's site at http://rebol.softinnov.org/mysql/main.html That is more likely to really get you started. <Grin>Or just use mysql and DocKimbel's mysql-protocol best bet IMHO tj

Oh yes, I highly recommend it too. I use it for the RIX thing I keep bragging about (although it may not be very much to brag about): http://folk.uio.no/hallvary/rix/ Anyway, DocKimbel's mysql-protocol is a very good thing, since it makes DB connections feasable for non/Command users.
