Re: [flexcoders] Flex - Database

[Nick Collins]

In relation to Apollo, it has been mentioned it will be possible to write database drivers in AS3... might it not be possible then to do it for Flex as well? Just curious... it may well be a part of the Apollo API that allows that, but perhaps worth considering.

            Sudharshan,

I concur with Paul's intial post.  Database driven Flex
applications are generally at least a 3-tier architecture.  1) UI
= Flex; 2) Database = ?; 3) Middle tier (aka "application server") = ?.

Generally the middle tier is an http server.  However, in the case of <mx:RemoteObjects> it is an AMF server.

The SQL2005 issues raised by Tracy and Roger are a case where the database now bundles in http services.

For a very broad view of how to get data into Flex, following is a link
for a Jeff Tapper article that does a good job comparing and
contrasting the options (note:  the article is from the Flash era
but is still relevant to Flex 2):
http://www.devx.com/webdev/Article/21803/0/page/1

Adobe has made the ColdFusion application server very Flex
friendly.  You can find videos demonstrating some Flex Builder 2
wizards for creating ColdFusion/Flex 2 applications using
<mx:RemoteObject> here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/wizards.html
 
Flex 2 certainly integrates well with other application servers
too.  Flex 2 is certainly very Java friendly, and there is an
active PHP project AMFPHP for that application server.

>> Thanks in advance.Flex doesn't connect directly to a database. You will need to use aserver-side technology and communicate with it using:Http service, Web service, Flex Data Service, etc. - just check out the
tutorials on the adobe site and all over the web.Paulwww.ipauland.com
