Rough
draft:Add your comments and
suggestions,then we'll make a
second draft and do it again. DataBase access: -SQL implementation (rip code from or modify
MySQL?)
Why not just build a (sql) data
request interpreter on the server. I don't believe that all users of
DynAPI will need the use of a database connection. I perfer ODBC
with PERL(DBI/DBD). This allows for the option of using
any (and there are alot) SQL format that is supported by PERL (just
about all the major vendors and freeware)
I know that someone is going to want
to slap me, but what about a simplified version for flat file
storage?
-getField('fieldname') >
get the value in field 'fieldname' for
the selected record -setField('fieldname') >
set the value in field
'fieldname' for the selected record -SQLExecute('sqlstring') >
you would pass your
"SELECT * FROM" or
"DELETE ALL FOR"
Don't forget CREATE
statements to the DB
engine here.. File I/O
(server-side): -directory navigation:
+Server(s) ??
+list
files +change working
dir -file
streaming: +Open file
stream +get X bytes from file
stream +get ALL from file
stream +write to file
stream: append/insert/overwrite +close
file stream -file manipulation: +copy
file +move
file +rename
file +delete
file +maybe batch versions
of the above
(ie myFileStreamObject.rename('f*s.js','f*r.js')
) Network
Comm: Not sure what you
would want for network comm..But I was thinking, you can make tcpip connections with an applet
right?So, on thos platforms
that don't support, say, LiveConnect for instance,your applet can make a network connection to you
serv-side component,which
would then instruct you DynaPI to do something(using a queue I would assume as you can't 'tell'
jscript to do anything from the server...)
Accessing Mutilple (SQL) servers will defintely come up somewhere
during this discussion, although this could be handled from the backend
where possible, there will be instances where it would be
needed.
It this the first posting to this thread? Are you just looking for
SQL feedback, or other things?
