Re: Multiuser Xtra and databases

is that really the case? if the solution involves ASP, you're probably right, you need a webserver. but php, perl, and the like are actually separate executables that you could include (1. the distribution licenses are pretty loose if i remember, and 2. all the perl executables and lib that come in the distro i have are 13MB - good enough to include on a cd)

if writing in those languages is a problem, then that's a different matter.

chiming in for no particular good,

First, thank's for the answers use PHP or ASP is not the case here, because
I need a quick response and this aproach can delay things a little. The
other problem is that there's no way to put a webserver in this project.

I agree with Troy...I am using php/mysql and it works pretty well. I've
heard you can do similar things with flash and coldfusion, but it seems much
more expensive without a big payoff. If you are using some complicated
SOAP-compliant app or something, flash may be easier to interface with, but
for simple database stuff posting to a web form and getting a reply is
usually good enough.

Although, I seem to remember reading something quite a while ago about MUS
being able to access databases and stuff, but I can't recall in what
capacity or technically how it was done :0/ Overall though, the end product
is much more flexible if done with some sort of full-featured middleware
like php or asp.

Is it possible to use multiuser xtra to connect to databases like mysql, oracle etc. I need to connect and retrieve some data. If possible I'd like to run away from third part xtras, but...

You'll probably want to use a PHP/ASP intermediary.

ps: DirectorMX doesn't use multiuser anymore??
Yes it does (on all platforms), but the xtra has been moved to the
"goodies" folder on the distribution CD. Macromedia needs to reconsider
this. That xtra can serve many purposes - more than what the Flash
Communications Server alone can offer.
