#9 jdbc:http:perlcgi gateway

[Anonymous]

hi!

i have started to write a jdbc-driver for connecting to
perl:dbi-mysql-databases via http and a little server-side perl-cgi
script. the driver is ~ 3 days old and still very experimental:

-
read only

- does not provide DatabaseMetaData yet

but i
have already succeeded in connecting to databases via isql
(isql.sf.net) and performing select statements.

the reason
why i started it is, that a lot of webspace-providers don't open
mysql-ports for their users.

i think it would still be nice to be
able to connect to such web-databases via openoffice or
applets,... for database management, but i don't want to reinvent
the wheel with all the Metadata... stuff. thats why i'm trying to
contact you.

if you think this is an interesting idea, please
contact me via email (norbertf@users.sourceforge.net). i can
send the sourcecode to you.
