You can get Native database drivers for Delphi to talk to MySQL.... your database back end makes no differance to any thing with Delphi....
God know what perl has to do with any thing.... totaly not the same thing as Delphi.... Soap supports every thing, soap is language independant... and is fairly cool. A bit like using CORBA and Delphi. Its only a XML based tansport layer, and its used by .NET as I am sure William knows. Delphi 8 has the best .Net support of any language, even better then VB and C++ but seeing as MS payed borland to implment it, thats not suprising.... I can how ever highly recomend soap, its exstreamly easy to use, though I havn't tried it from Delphi. Its all the same..... Havn't done .Net at all other then the soap part, but if its like Corba (they do the same thing so it should be) then its bloody easy as well. Its all about remote objects. I would say though that Delphi isn't ideal for web services. Your better of thinking about a move to a more web based technology. I loved Delphi for 8 years, but alas, these days PHP is much more fun, works well and is fast. If you do want to consider some thing other then Delphi to do your thing then PHP kicks the hell out of Perl.... Poor old Delphi is a dieing market here :-( Other then that, really, Delphi to MySQL is just like Delphi to Paradox, or Oracle or any thing else.... just get the drivers and off you go :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Hess" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "William IT" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 12:56 PM Subject: Re: MySQL vs .NET : If you are using Perl, take a look at SOAP::Lite - do not let the name : fool you... www.soaplite.com Combining this with Apache and mod_perl : and given Perl can directly interface with MySQL using Perl's DBI (and : also the countless other modules available on CPAN) we have found this : to be a very robust solution for a distributed and/or multi-tier system. : SOAP::Lite supports MS .Net clients using VB/VC++ since .Net is : pretty much MS's spin on the SOAP protocol, but there are some quirks... : : There are other SOAP variants for other languages like Java, Python, : etc... but not sure how these stack up... : : : William IT wrote: : : > I am using Delphi 7 and MySql 4.0.16, since MS release .Net technology and : > also Delphi 8 .Net to provide web services application, I want to know how : > to make a web services application using Mysql?
