My name is Antonio Carlos Rodr�guez Vergara, from the Seville
University at Spain,

Do you have a short name like all the brazilian football players ;-) ?


and I'm trying to make a applicattion over Mozilla
which must run in windows. I'm interested in database access, because
when you put some widgets, such as trees or listboxes, its data is often
coded in a common database structure (Oracle, Access, Sql
server,MySql... etc). I have managed RDF and templates, and it looks
good for it, but I have two problems:

 * How could I use the database (from ODBC or a concrete format) as a RDF
 datasource to use it with templates?

You will need to write an XPCOM component which will serve as a "bridge"
between mozilla RDF API and ODBC API. The complexity of this component will
probably depend on how flexible is your DB (i.e. can you assume fix users,
fixed tables, ...).


OR How could I use connected ODBC
 database directly in XUL, forgetting RDF?


This will require writting an XPCOM commponent which expose the ODBC
interface as an XPCOM interface, then you will be able to manipulate the GUI
via the DOM interfaces.


 * If at last I can use a database as a RDF Datasource, where could I
 find (real) useful information to manage complex RDF dataformats in XUL?


What do you consider as complex? IMHO there are enough examples in the
mozilla source code.


 I am very interested in the second point. Please, help me.I need a
 component XPCOM to access to thedatabases which work in Windows. Because
 my proyect must run in Windows with a only machine(local machine). In
 this machine must have Mozilla and the database. This is a very
 important question, because I need information about the exposed later
 to end my studies. Thank you.


I know that there were several people which "promised" to write an XPCOM
ODBC component, but to the best of my knowledge none of them had delivered
anything by now :(

Good luck,
  Mark.


Hello friend.

Can you say some direction where find information? This is very important. I need a component to work on a database in Windows.

Than you.
