RE: Apache::ASP and Postgres
Hi buddy... I have a recommendation for you... Here where I work, we have a unix and a linux running Oracle databases accessed by perl and ASP, perl is embeded, I mean, .phtml, and it really sucks, I mean, is really crazy to do that, but the ppl didn´t know that... in that way we connect with oracle with DBI trought modperl but we make another things with ASP and Javascript. The code is like perl embeded into ASP, the results are good, but when a programmer want to analize that we call to the mental hospital, do you understand me? I know, you didn´t ask that but is just a recommendation, don´t mix perl and ASP... if you going to do it only with ASP is fine, but I don´t think you can do that...

Re: Apache::ASP and Postgres
Hi buddy, I have a recommendation for you. Keep recommendations like this off the modperl list. Some people use Apache::Asp and they're happy with it, others you Embperl, others use Mason. Some crazy people like me occasionaly write web apps in c. If you have a recommendation... I recommend you back it up with a real reason. Like it's too slow, or it sucks up too much memory. Or developement time is significantly impacted. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood..., but this isn't the kind of thing that should be on the list. Thanks, Shane. recommendation cut because I'm in a Nazi-ish censorship mood

I think this poor guy was mixing up IIS/ASP with Apache::ASP, which is a perl native port of ASP. PHTML sounds like Apache::SSI. Anyhow, he doesn't know much about what he's doing, but if wanted to learn from the list, he could. For starters, all of the embeded perl solutions allow things to be done quickly and easily w/o much design. Such is also perl's strength weakness, that to program well, you must have a good programmer, but you have some very powerful tools all the same.

I am running into a number of roadblocks however because I can't find any examples or documentation for doing this. Does anyone have any experience using ASP on Linux to do database accesses. I'm looking for any input including informing me if this is not possible. It seems like all the tools are available, but I can't seem to make this work. Thanks in advance, Chad Stephens Check out DBI / DBD::Pg, and Apache::DBI for caching. http://www.symbolstone.org/technology/perl/DBI/ Note that the DBI link was at: http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/faq.html#Development -- Joshua
