RE: [U2] Connecting SQL server from Universe
We're using Easysoft ODBC-ODBC-Bridge, on our AIX using UniData connecting to MSSQL 2K, for database inquiries. I don't see why it wouldn't work for uniVerse also, you would just need write UVBASIC code to use GCI/BCI? to interface with the ODBC driver. The code is pretty simple, with BCI at least. This might be easier than trying to learn XML, if you don't already know/use it. -Arthur - - - - - - - - - - - - Arthur E.

RE: [U2] Connecting SQL server from Universe
We use the SQL connect facilities within UniVerse to talk to SQL Server directly. From a UV Basic program we can read and update SQL tables and call SQL stored procedures with little difficulty.

RE: [U2] Connecting SQL server from Universe
We are using OpenLink drivers (downloaded from the web, and with support because they are buggers to install onto aix) to talk to sql thru ODBC and also simple sockets (which we wrote ourselves) to initiate stored procedures The ODBC connections allows full access to the sql databases So you can say use database1 select count(*) from table 1 etc from the basic routines Both work OK and the ODBC allows you to use the Basic SQL functionality which means you can update. delete etc Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Yang, Songying, JIMS Sent: 25 July 2005 17:04 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Connecting SQL server from Universe Hello all, We are trying to connect to MSSQL server from Universe Database Server (currently we are using Universe 10.1.7 on Aix 5.2).

RE: [U2] Connecting SQL server from Universe
We are trying to connect to MSSQL server from Universe Database Server (currently we are using Universe 10.1.7 on Aix 5.2). Doesn't anybody I've done it from UV 9.6 using the SQL api: SQLConnect() SQLExecDirect() SQLDisconnect() Etc .. Is there any reason you couldn't use these if you've installed the ODBC drivers under Unix? Contact me privately and I can send you a sample program .. -Chuck --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Connecting SQL server from Universe
Read or update? Doesn't matter, my experience is using SQL XML on SQL 2K. We use http from UniVerse to update MSSQL with updategrams (an MS term). It works well, no need to install anything that wasn't already installed. Works across port 80 /or 443 through our firewalls. Not as fast as but reasonable performance compared with ODBC et al. Convenience overrides. You need MS SQL 2000 with IIS configured with support for SQL XML. On the UV side we just use 'EXECUTE LIST ... TOXML CAPTURING XML.UPDATE.DATA' to generate the XML updategrams but I understand recent versions of UV have improved support for generating XML in basic. There are risks using that method as large amounts of data in the capturing variable could blow your workspace. You can also use IIS SQL XML support to read (XML) data from MSSQL.
