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?

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.

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

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.
