As a datasource?
A URL can point to a program on a server and that program
(cfm/asp/cgi/perl/etc) can create data in many formats and return it to the
browser.
I don't know what you want to do ... but with MS-SQL 2K you can set up a
virtual root to be accessed via a URL. The SQL 2K server will send back XML
data or information translated into some other form like HTML by using XSL.
Or if you are refferring to a DSN ... you could send datasource connection
information in a URL and dynamically connect to a database on the serverside
Create a DSN-less connection.
Access = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:\db.mdb"
MSSQL = "Driver={SQL�Server};Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD="
Cheers,
Bill
