WDB mSQL Interface
by Bo Frese
Rasmussen <bfrasmus@eso.org>
The msql_dbi.pl file makes it possible to use
WDB to interface to the public domaing mSQL database instead of Sybase.
Requirements
You need to have Perl5, mSQL and MsqlPerl to use the wdb mSQL interface.
Getting perl5 and mSQL to work on your platform is the first task.
Configuration
Follow the normal WDB configuration instructions, with the following
exceptions :
- Set
$DBI_FILE
in the wdb.conf
file to
msql_dbi.pl
.
- Set the first line in the wdb script to perl5 instead of sybperl.
- Remember to allow the user id of the HTTP server access to the mSQL
databases.
Creating FDF's
Included is also an mSQL version of mkfdf, called msqlfdf, which will produce a working template FDF
file given a database and table name.
Example
None - yet.
- Have fun.
