Our company does some work with U2 interfaced to a website and we are looking at doing more. You might want to check-out the MV/Internet product. This basically allows you to have a website that can talk directly to a Universe database. You write your site scripts in UniBasic and do cgi calls to interact with them (very rough description). We are just starting with this tool, but from what I have seen so far this is definitely the way to go if you want to put U2 data and functions out to a website.
Another method would be to interface your MySql tables to Universe using ODBC or code written using the UniObjects api. Your call, it depends on what you have setup for security, existing web code, and requirements. Rich Taylor | Senior Programmer/Analyst| VERTIS 250 W.

I am also new to the mailing list, so my apologizes if I have gone about this the wrong way. My problem is this: I am running an AIX 4.3.3 with UniVerse database 10.1 installed. I am hosting my companies website from Linux running the osCommerce shopping cart that backends all the information in a mySQL database. Instead of having to type in all 250,000 items into the mySQL database, I want to real time the lookups with our own database. Is there a way for mySQL to look up the tables in UniVerse, or is there a better way?
