Forum Topic - ODBC access to a Foxpro database: (4 Items)
   
ODBC access to a Foxpro database  
We are looking into using ODBC to access a Foxpro database on a Windows machine, from a Neutrino machine. Does anyone 
have any experience with this?

Thanks,

Kevin
Re: ODBC access to a Foxpro database  
Actually, it appears that we might have to use Windows named pipes to talk to the database machine, where a task on the 
Windows end takes messages from the pipe, and interprets them as database commands. So, a related question is, is there 
any easy way to do Windows named pipes under Neutrino?

Windows isn't my thing, so I won't answer your question directly, but
instead suggest two things:

1) You could simply use a socket to have your nto target talk to the
Windows server.  You could have a tcp listener on windows that bridges
the nto target to your windows db.

2) Similarly, you could have a small gsoap server running on windows to
bridge the nto target to the windows db (gsoap isn't shipped with
momentics, but it should be reasonably easy to compile yourself)

Did you look at this?

It might port over...
