Perhaps RT could rethink their strategy and provide an interface to the open source sql databases, but charge for access to commercial databases such as sqlserver, and Oracle. That way developers could cut their teeth on Rebol, it should increase the pool of experienced Rebol developers, and RT would still get their profits from the companies that can afford Oracle etc, and who were the only companies that were going to pay for it in the first place. Sun used to seed their servers into the universities, and MS their products into the academic institutions for the same reasons. -- Graham Chiu

I agree... REBOL/Command with the type of integrated MySQL support PHP has would be heaven! --Ralph Roberts

How many times should I repeat that? /Command = CGI. What do we want is - Apache module. If it is not like that, the world will not accept it. I tried to convince three of my friends and the answer was clear - CGI s... :-) ... that's probably reality and we have no guns to make them think in other way .... Well, I use CGI as I don't use Rebol for some heavy stuff yet. What's more, maybe the solution is coming: 1) Apache module is somehow postponed. But according to info from RT marketing department (and I hope I am not telling secrets here), Rebol/Apache is still being regarded strategic product, although other things have priority nowadays (/Express) 2) DocKimbel created mySQL scheme (protocol) script, which is currently available to /Express testers. I haven't tried it myself yet, but it surely would be interesting to know the speed in comparison to PHP Apache module, as a) we have to use it in CGI mode b) the script encoding routines are written in Rebol .... 3) Of course PHP Apache module solution = 0 USD, while Rebol/Command under Linux costs some 299 USD (not to mention other Unixes). And it even doesn't support mySQL directly, nor ODBC, - you have to use /Library component and wrapper script Jeff created and posted to the list ... If not /Library, then at least /Shell should become part of /Core ... for free :-) Well, /Shell is so basic functionality, - I can't help myself ... ;-) -pekr-

It really does :-) have-you-been-busy?: does [if not all [equal? system/product "Apache" found? find system/components "MySQL"] [send [dan--rebol--com] "something's missing :-)"] true] ;-) regular comment :-) -pekr-

Hi, Just wondering, I am nearly finished converting my site from Rebol to PHP, and will therefore have no need for the scripts that my site currently uses. If anyone is interested in obtaining the scripts that run FreesiteUK, then let me know, I will send you them as soon as the new version is installed and running. Everything is controlled from a web based management system. The system consists of an opt-in newsletter system, the newsletter is generated automatically and all you have to do is press submit. There is a linktrade system that rewards other sites that link to you by mentioning the most popular on all pages and in the newsletter. There is an submit a site facility, a feedback form, a search facility (with the ability to recommend other search engines depending on the section) that is very fast and precise. There is a newsletter advert rotation rotation system and a web advert rotation system. To summarise, it is a web directory which has lots of features and took me many months to write. A demo of the management system can be found by downloading the following file, the demo requires a windows based PC. http://www.freesiteuk.com/fsuk.exe I have thought about uploading it one of those script archives, but the whole system consists of around 30 or 40 scripts. == All the best, -- Malcolm Campbell [malcolm--freesiteuk--com]

Hi,
>Why? :-)
Well, the site is getting a bit big and requiring more memory, also I wanted to learn PHP. The main reason (which is related to the above) is that I wanted to use MySQL without having to use a method that may be platform dependant or too difficult. I still like Rebol more, if only it had some sort of built in support for MySQL like PHP has. :) == All the best, -- Malcolm Campbell [malcolm--freesiteuk--com]

I agree too. IMHO Rebol is too young for us to risk to use it on a huge development project based on big guns like Oracle's DBMS. It would be nicer if we could experiment its prowess on a cheaper or free dbms like MySQL. Moreover, I'm afraid it will be a long way before Rebol become a corporate tool.Corporations are slow to accept innovations ( not Microsoft, of course ;-). Nowadays I see Rebol as a marvelous tool for medium/small IT firms or for consultants and they (we) usually can't afford an Oracle license in their (our) tight budget projects. MySQL is another history. Just my two cents. -- Paolo Russo [pa--russo--perd--com] _________________ PERD s.r.l. Virtual Technologies for Real Solutions http://www.perd.com

[...] Petr, there's another solution : FastCGI (http://www.fastcgi.com) It's better in some aspects than the module approach and the protocol is quite simple.

mySQL scheme is under beta testing for a few more days. I'll post an announce here when the first public beta will be ready.

[...] It's faster than what i excepted. Roughly 150Ko/s for a "select" on my P150 with mysqld running on localhost. Regards, DocKimbel.

Well, the site is getting a bit big and requiring more memory, also I wanted to learn PHP. The main reason (which is related to the above) is that I wanted to use MySQL without having to use a technique that may be platform dependant, too difficult or simply require admin access to the server.

REBOL/Command has excellent support in Window (have had much success in past few months) although I have not tried it in Linux yet. Although I had to use PHP for file uploading via HTTP since I never could get it to work right in REBOL and I know PHP has built in session management now, so that is very cool. How about REBOL getting all the built in goodness of PHP? That would be in addition to all the goodness REBOL already has of course. just my 2 cents Jeff

Hi,

I'll post the URL of the archived scripts on this list since I have had several requests. Remember, they won't be available until I finish the new one, which hasn't yet got the linktrade and newsletter systems implemented.
