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?
