Title: RE: Witango-Talk: database on another server Gareth, I don't advocate putting the servers on separate network segments connected over a internet wanconnection. On the contrary, the closer they are physically the better (behind theups segment etc.). But as far as ODBC is concerned

One point that I want to remind all readers about is that not all databases and/or database servers work the same way. There may be restrictions placed on them that prevent a setup in which they reside on a separate piece of hardware. The one that sticks on in my mind is MS Access which cannot be

You are right, Steve. For this to work there needs to beboth client and server side ODBC connectors. Which should bethe caseformost commersially availabledb server services of today, the server side ODBC in many casesintegrated intothe db server service (not available as a separate

Alan I've done this using R:Tango and the databases reside on Netware. I haven't tried this with databases on NT4 but this is how I've got it working for Netware. Create a user on Netware and give that user full rights to the database folder Login using the Netware client (must

Title: Re: Witango-Talk: database on another server It is a matter of setting up a DSN via TCP as opposed to your usual direct connections on the server. Simply create a new DSN which points to the IP address of the other server and set the appropriate port for whichever database you are using

Hi Alan, Maybe I misunderstood the question, but if you are going to have WiTango on one server and the db on another then just (re)configure the ODBC System DSN drivers on the WiTango server to point to the distant db server. The Witango service doesn't know where the database

My experience on Windows 2K and Tango 2000 is that there are large performance benefits by having the database on a different box. I have noticed this with environments other than Witango as well... When we deployed our classified ad system originally on Windows it had many performance

Re: Witango-Talk: database on another server

2003-10-29 Thread Jason Schulz
Does splitting the db to another server save resources on the Witango server? I would assume it saves disk reads, but would it save cpu usage? For example , if the search action has ordered by columns or a join? Web servers and database servers have different performance patterns, so
