RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Question about ODBC databases
Estimado Gerardo, estoy comenzado a desarrollar una solución utilizando un servicio en NT y un cliente en php (los estoy desarrollando en java). El servicio en NT no es más que un socket server que consulta vía ODBC a los archivos de bases de datos que están en el propio NT Server. Las soluciones de Benjamin Walling [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] y de John Lim [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] no se me habían ocurrido y me parecen por demás ingeniosas. El unico inconveniente que veo es que pasan la consulta por la URL y tengo entendido que esta tiene un tamaño máximo. De la pregunta que me haces, realmente no tengo idea de donde colocar la base de datos en el linux. En cuanto tenga la solución te cuento. Saludos Juan I'm developing a solution by using an NT service and a client into a php code (developed with java). The NT service is a socket server that query the datafiles through ODBC localized in the NT Server. The solutions proposed by Benjamin Walling and John Lim are pretty smart and I didn't occurs to me. But I found some troubles with this approach: as far as I know the URL has a maximum length. About your question, I don't know where locate the datafile in a Linux Server. ASAP I was finished my proposal of solution I'll tell you -Mensaje original- De: Gerardo Morales [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviado el: Lunes 20 de Mayo de 2002 14:44 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Question about ODBC databases Gracias Juan. Sobre el mismo tema, aunque a la vez separado, en el caso de que la BD se pusiera en forma local, en que directorio se especifica? es necesario hacer algun cambio en php.ini para especificarle una localidad en especifico?? en el caso de que asi sea, alguien sabra si es posible utilizar MOUNT, NFSD o alguna otra opcion dentro de Linux???

If I add it in a especific path for example /htdocs/MyDB/Access how can I especified to PHP that read thiis path, Need i modified the php.ini file?? Can I Mount a Network File System on Linux, as I can mount the HD with the DB (win nt OS) to a local Path?? using NFSD, MOUNT or another option??

RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Question about ODBC databases
Anthony, You can certainly connect to a remote database using ODBC, it's simply a case of configuring DSN's on your PHP server to use a local ODBC Driver to connect to the remote database. In the case of MS Access, OpenLink's Multi-Tier ODBC Agent works quite well. This of course requires that the Linux instance of PHP has been built with an ODBC Driver manager, such as --with-iodbc as per the HOWTO on www.iodbc.org. Gerardo, your problem might be no ODBC Driver Manager linked in, as well as no local Driver/DSN. Check the output of a phpinfo(); to see what the state of your instance is with regards to ODBC. Let me know if you have configuration questions.

If I could do this (make a NT server running ODBC look like a SQL server), it would make the app I'm working on much easier to develop. I have found a program called ODBCSocketServer, that will send and recieve ODBC requests via an XML stream. This works ok, but is limited and difucult to work with. At the current time it it incapable of sending over a secure port also.

Gerardo, Access can only be served by Windows - you need to connect to it remotely.

RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Question about ODBC databases
Anthony, No, you are right. The closest you could do is to use an ODBC-ODBC Bridge, and connect to a DSN on computer A that piggybacked on a DSN on computer B.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Question about ODBC databases
Write a simple web service. Put a few PHP pages on the NT server, which take parameters, and return results. For example, create a function that takes a string (sql statement, eg) as a parameter, and echos a comma delimited page (the resulting recordset). Then, on the Linux/Unix box, use the HTTP methods to call the page, passing the string and then parses the output. I've done this with ASP to interact with some VB programs that some of our remote sites use. It works well. Anthony [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
