Hi, I am trying to acheive the following, and I have little experience with cross platform ODBC: Perform SELECT statements on proprietary DB located on a Windows server from a FreeBSD server using PHP. The database is based on Firebird from what I am told. The application is ProfitNet. The company provides a Windows ODBC driver for the database. However, there is not Un*x driver support, from what I understand I will need installed on the remote FreeBSD server as well. After further investigating I read something about generic proxy driver setup when a Un*x driver is not available for a Windows ODBC connection. In short, does anyone have any insight on my options on how to handle this. Again, I am green when it comes to iODBC and cross platform ODBC development, so please do not assume I know anything. =) I have a round about way to accomplish what I want by extracting the data into a data file, and pushing it to the remote server and reparsing it, but a direct ODBC between the FreeBSD and Windows would be ideal. Thank you very much! Jase __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about. Just $16.99/mo. or less. dsl.yahoo.com |
