Hello all. I'm seeking advice on how to provide data from a DP database to a website inquiry prompt.
I'm trying to build a website where users can query an order number and the result will show the historical and current status of that order. The status data is stored in a DataPerfect database on my server. All I need is to have the webpage extract it from DataPerfect. I'm not HTML savvy so I'm not sure if this is simple to do or not. Right now, my option is to have DP run a report creating a file for each order number (using the number as the filename) with its status history and when queried, the website opens the filename and displays the data. Unfortunately, this means the data is only as fresh as when the DP report was most recently run, as well as having to manually run the report frequently. I'm wondering if there is a more "real-time" method to this and hopefully automatic or less human involvement to keep the data current. Thanks for any opinion.
