Re: New here. Question about possible internet db updates?

Thank you so much for the reply. I will check out the web server. Unfortunately, I use a hosting service, or will be with the database and wouldn't have the necessary root permissions to install a listening app on the web server. So whatever I use needs to be able to communicate over the internet ...

Re: Remote to MySQL

I used to write BV n tier apps and I used remote SQL server all the time and just put the IP address in the connection string if memory serves me along with my vreds and it worked everytime from what I remember. Then passed an SQL query and got the results back as name value pairs, etc.

Re: New here. Question about possible internet db updates?

Hi. Thanks. Yeah. There are only 2 people who will use the app and even then only 1 at a time . I guess both could possibly use it at the same time, but I highly doubt it and therefore I suspect SQL lite will work for what I need. The DB will only have about 8 ton10 tables at most.
I might end up ...

Really ? One exe for all OS's supported by PB? Nothing else needed?

So, I'm still waiting on my laptop to get here and then I'll be ordering PB.
Question. Is it really true I can write a program in Windows and compile in Windows and it will also work on Linux or a Mac OS? Without jumping thru hoops ?! It just works? Call me skeptical. 🤣
I think I will only be ...

Re: New here. Question about possible internet db updates?

I looked at the examples and they were very good, especially the mySql example. I didn't see how to connect to an existing sqlLite database remotely though in that example from the link provided on the mySql example page. I assume one could connect to any database remotely supported by PB and ODBC ...

Re: New here. Question about possible internet db updates?

Hi. Yeah. I know the request server object. I used to be a classic asp programmer for a web and media company.
I just don't know how to comment using it in PB. I take it there is documentation on the same?
I was always told chi is bad back in the day because at least using IIS on windows server it ...

Re: Help with Javascript / html popup window

Hello.

I'm new here and won't be posting any JavaScript code, but I used to be a classic asp coder for a few companies back in the day. Maybe your approach is the problem. Usually, but not always JavaScript is for the front end. Scope is hard in a web environment. Have you thought about passing ...

Re: New here. Question about possible internet db updates?

Hi.

Thank you for the reply. I know PHP enough I could do the front end in that langauge, but the small user base hates the internet front ends, and wants to insure no one else, especially in the web has access to an app or program that would alter the DB. Otherwise I would just wrote the whole ...

I have a database and website being hosted online.

I also have a need to update the database ...
