RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and Databases
You can actually connect directly to SQL server by turning on the web listener and pass your SQL statements in an HTTP request. It is pretty easy to do and reduces the overhead of another layer.

In Flex you have 3 ways to access data: Webservices, HTTP services and RemoteObjects. This 3 ways are the only available to retrieve/insert/update/delete data. If you want to connect to Access database, one way is to use HTTP services and point them to some scripting technology (PHP,ASP???) When the first data connection kit was available to flash (before data components were available) there was a sample application with ASP pages that allowed those operations. To be honest, why connect Flex to a mdb database? I mean, a 15K license to create an application with a mdb database ... it's simply odd...

Not trying to scare anyone. Just trying to make him aware that there might need to be a little more thought involved in the overall process. We are all beginnersat some pointbut tough love speeds up the learning process sometimes.

If updgrading to a database why not use a real database like SQLServer or something similar rather then Access? Why are you trying to build it yourself if you have no knowledgeof any web languages? (ColdFusion, ASP, PHP etc.) If you need this done I am available to work on it part time foran hourly rate.
