Re: Accessing VFP9 data from Perl/JSP pages being served from Apache/Linux?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

The ODBC driver is certainly still available for download, and you can get
to VFP9 data so long as it doesn't use any of the recently addded (since
VFP6) features.

I don't think VFP9 data can be accessed via ODBC any longer - the VFP
ODBC driver has not been updated in years (don't even think it's

access via ODBC is either non-existent, or so limited to the extent
of being unusable.

Anyone else?

Does it need to be oledb? If not - there is a nice perl library
that uses odbc IN linux for Apache.
Yer PerlGeeks know about it. I've got an url floating around
somewhere.

OTOH - if you want to make a bridge with oledb - it can be done -
and it's not a trivial thing - you'll have to purchase
the bridge drivers for the linux box and also for the machine that
will hang
off the novell server to make the bridge.
I've got the info from a previous client somewhere floating about -
I'll post it as I find it (rsn).

Is the VFP9 OLEDB provider able to be used under Apache/Linux? We
have a mission critical Linux app that we'd like to have direct
access to our data (living on a Novell server), but I have no idea
how to accomplish that.

Thanks.
