GoldMine
Anyone out there have any experience using CF to interact with a GoldMine database?

RE: GoldMine
yes it's possible. You can use DBase drivers (not good) or you can upgra de goldmine to SQL and do it that way. If you can figure out Goldmines rath er difficult Primary key schema you can make it happen. There are a lot of folks doing it with various 3rd party aps and you can find ideas on how t o proceed on the goldmine forums.

Re: GoldMine
I've done a little work with GoldMine. If I recall, I think the original was in dBase, then they released it using MS SQL. If the db is SQL, they've got an API written using MS SQL stored procedures. That seemed to be the surest way of interacting with the db. I'm not a SQL guru... I did some front end work in CF and just called a number of the stored procedures, plus a few custom ones that utilized them.

Re: GoldMine
Spend some time in the GoldMine developers newsgroups. They make a few cross platform objects now that help you keep the data in their complicated db schema "synched" if accessing the data thru the "FrontRange/GoldMine" supplied server objects. That way if you munge your or your clients data - they wont be able to point the finger quite so emphatically at you.

Interacting with GoldMine data with ColdFusion
Anyone have any experience with GoldMine? (http://www.frontrange.com/goldmine/) We're looking at using CF to get at the data (the web site says SQL Server, but it's really more SQL Server reading dBase files), which is supposed to be possible. But, I'm having trouble setting up a DSN (ODBC socket to a system DSN) in the administrator.

RE: Interacting with GoldMine data with ColdFusion
Goldmine can be either SQL server OR dbase... or in the case of a synch server a combination. Can you further describe your setup? -Mark -Original Message- From: Scott Brady [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 5:02 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Interacting with GoldMine data with ColdFusion Anyone have any experience with GoldMine?

Re: Interacting with GoldMine data with ColdFusion
I can tell you what I've been told about our setup. The database is "offficially" SQL Server, but if you look at the actual server, they're really just dBase data files that SQL Server is pulling from. (The person in my company who chose GoldMine says the company says "SQL Server" for marketing purposes, because it's still just dBase on the backend). But, in any event. We've got a directory full of dBase files that hold the data. We'd like to be able to set up a DSN in CF in order to access the data (we want to create a more useful report than is available in GoldMine itself). Thanks!

Re: Interacting with GoldMine data with ColdFusion
I can't understand why you would even have SQL Server if all you have is DBase files. Maybe I'm missing something but the Corporate edition requires SQL Server, not the cheaper editions. When we had it here I set up the Goldmine tables just like any other SQL Server tables, with no problems. >I can tell you what I've been told about our setup. > >The database is "offficially" SQL Server, but if you look at the >actual server, they're really just dBase data files that SQL Server is >pulling from.

The help via the web in how to set up the datasources was . . . not helpful. Thanks anyway.
