Is the Mysql connection > modifiable for other databases? Hello Mike: I'm sorry, but I am not sure that I understand your question exactly, but I'll give a try.
1)The MySQL protocol available from DocKimbel thru softinnov is free and it works with rebol/core, which is free, and interacts with the MySQL server which is also free. If you use databases on a server, then you may have to seek support from sysadmin - or perhaps you will have a MySQL db available thru an account. In many cases building a large database from (say) a text file imported from another source, may need sysadmin support. The cost of admission is your time in configuring for this option, installing MySQL on your desktop + Whatever needs to be done on a remote server, if needed. 2)Although Sqlite is free, to use it, you have to have rebol/pro to interact with a dll or shared object (on *nix). I have not worked with Sqlite, but I believe there is no need for sysadmin support or permissions in most cases, although the Sqlite DLL or SO will be needed on the server and your desktop. The cost of admission is the cost in dollars for the rebol/pro license + your time in configuring + whatever it takes to install DLL or SO. 3)The 'sql-protocol.r' is free, works with rebol/core just uses text files and may prove to be wonderful for 'quick-and-dirty' small jobs on either your desktop on on a remote server via, CGI, for instance. In this last option or example, "cost of admission" would be the least. I hope I've made things more clear. tim > Mike > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Tim Johnson<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 9:26 AM > Subject: [REBOL] Re: [NEWBIE]: Rebol & SQLite3 > > > > * Silvia Brandimarte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> [051104 > 08:11]: > > Hi, everybody. > > > > I'm needing an help to make work Rebol and SQLite 3 together. > > > > I downloaded SQLite 3.2.7 with sqlitedll 3.2.7.
