All,
I'm trying to design a 3-tier app (client using browser, web server with
CGI/Perl/DBI, and a C++ app sitting somewhere on the LAN). In a
nutshell, the user will need to browse info from a database, make some
selections, and pass the data to the C++ app for calculations. Reports
will then be sent back to the browser.
Instead of passing data from the database to the web server and then to
the C++ app, can I provide access to the database directly from the C++
app via DBI? What's the cleanest way to do this? My initial thoughts
would be a Perl app on the same box as the C++ app, open a socket from
the C++ app to the Perl app, and take advantage of the DBI. The large
number of databases supported by the DBI really helps me out.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help,
Mark
