Hi everyone,
1)
Thanks for all your ideas.
2)
Infact I am already using C-API for data retrieval
from mySQL and I want to provide admin utility to my
application which runs on a web server.I donot want to
use ODBC.It tends to bind my application mostly to
windows.Currently I am considering the fllowing
options:
i)
ASP
ii)
Using java swing in applets
iii)
A CGI program
iv)
Using AWT and applets
v)Any other............
Your views will be of great value in selecting the
right technology...........
Regards,
Ravi
