The database is created using a Windows software (Delphi language) which
uses Paradox database. A special module is used to prepare some data from
this database for internet. The program uses "libmySQL.dll" and would
connect directly to server via a dialup line. Instead 'localhost' it would
have the server's IP. It then updates the Mysql database with new data. This
Mysql database is then used only for reading and PHP scripts on homepage
take care of that. I am just wondering if anyone has ever done this and are
there any problems (firewalls...)?
Thanks,
Marko.
