Bruce, It looks like you were on the right track initially, the problem is that PHP has a major bug - odbc_setoption is coded specific to ODBC statement handle (connection id), which means that trying to use odbc_setoption the way you want attempts to set a SQLSetConnectOption AFTER the connection is open - which is bogus and will give you ODBC function sequence errors.
On the other hand, the error message you were getting is a bit misleading; we are fixing that now. So... you can unfortunately not do this via Application ID, but since you are using the OpenLink Rules Book, you can still affect Session-based connection management with any of the other connection criteria: Here is one way to do it: -------------------------------------- Setup your session attributes by configuring the Session Rules Book Aliases section of the Multi-Tier OpenLink Admin Assistant. (http://servername:8000). You can configure session rules for any combination of Domain, Database, User, Operating System, Client Machine, Client Application, etc., and can control any connection options at the server side based on the session. Using "Database" as an example, add a Database Alias with a new database name and configure a session mapping rule to point to the original database name, but change the connection attributes from "Read / Write" to "Read Only" in the options for the connection session. On the PHP side, simply choose between two DSN's in the odbc.ini - one is the "normal" DSN, with default settings, and one will have an alternate database name, "name_readonly" or somesuch, that will cause the oplrqb to instantiate the appropriate connection attributes. If you run into problems, you should probably open a support case at http://www.openlinksw.com/support/suppindx.htm, as this is getting somewhat off-topic for PHP. Hope this helps! Best regards, Andrew Hill Director of Technology Evangelism OpenLink Software http://www.openlinksw.com Universal Data Access & Data Integration Technology Providers I was thinking of using the usernames, but as people come and go, that might mean messing around with the oplrqb.ini file too much. I'd really like to do this based on application. What variable do I pass with the PHP script? ( I'm not sure what you mean ). Can I use a variable in PHP that passes the application name to the server?
