I was talking with a PHP programmer today and he asked me if you can
connect 'directly' to MySQL or SQL Server like PHP does in a VFP
program, or are you restricted to having to use ODBC. Can some of you
client/server gurus help answer these questions?
First, I wasn't aware you could connect directly to MySQL or SQL
Server, so how is the PHP language actually doing it?
Second, is there any way to connect from VFP without an ODBC connection?
Third, if there is some form of 'direct' way to communicate to an
MySQL or SQL Server database, why doesn't VFP support that method of
communication?
I believe he's referring to OLE-DB connections. Check out
connectionstrings.com for some OLE-DB ways of connecting to various
databases.
