ETNA 2.1 Released

[Progi1984]

Hi all, ETNA 2.1 was released.... What ?WHAT ? I hear someone ask what is ETNA ? So it's for me the moment of explaining what's that

What is ETNA ?
ETNA (alias Easy daTabase Network Access) is an library which allows you to access at database which doesn't accept external request via the web server(PHP now, but ASP & so on may be possibles)

What are features of ETNA ?
- Management of threads so no slowdown when you send a request at database
- Management of queuing of messages
- Ultra-secure encryption
- Ease of use
- Lots of examples
- Free

What are news in V2.1 ?
- Etna is now wrapped for PureBasic
- Etna is now wrapped for C++ (thanks to Fra)


Who use ETNA ?
Now, twenty users recensed. But why not you ?

Where can I download ETNA ?
Go on the ETNA web page

Looks interesting. I'm gonna have a look at it

I've installed the PB files and added the Etna.dll file to the source folder but when I try to run a test I get an error saying ETNA_Initialise() isn't a function, array or linked list.

For Purebasic :
* Install Etna/PureBasic/PureLibrairies/UserLibrairies/ in Purebasic/PureLibrairies/UserLibrairies/ of your PureBasic distribution
* Install Etna/PureBasic/Residents/ in Purebasic/Residents/ of your PureBasic distribution

Found out why it wasn't working.

UserLibrairies = UserLibraries
PureLibrairies = PureLibraries

Oki thanks !

Just for a 'i' :p

Why didn't you call this EDNA ?

Is it because you couldn't think of an icon/logo for EDNA ?

this lib is dead ?
i downloaded but when i try to run a example it give a error StringExension lib is missing

You should still be able to use the provided dll instead of the PureBasic UserLibrary.

But DLL is not cross platform

[Zach]

Well I'm not sure there is any guarantee the UserLib would be cross-platform either?

If its calling Windows.h in the C++ header, chances are the userlib may also be calling Windows only stuff.

That being said. You can install an older version of Purebasic if you really want to use it. Older versions are available from the Museum section of the main site's download area.
No idea how far you need to go back, but I'd start with whatever PB comes closest to the date of the first post of this thread.

I'd guess you need version 4.00, released 8th May, 2006
