MySQL and ProgreSQL both have ODBC drivers.  Once installed you will be able to access the database on the Linux server.

Is this running on a Linux box or a Windows box? I've done this on a Linux box, but I would have to assume that it will work much the same way on a Windows box, seeing as you're using Apache. The way I've done it is to use Perl and install Apache::ASP. There is some configuration involved, but the is nicely documented in the docs that come with the Apache::ASP module.

Check the path in the connection string.  Make sure that if it says "c:&#92;whaterver&#92;whaterver&#92;blah.mdb" that the path is the same on the server.\n\nAlso, check IIS settings and file system privileges to make sure that .NET has permission to access the databse.  Go to IIS, right click on the folder for the app.  Make sure it is configured as an application.  Also, make sure that read access is granted.\n\nIn Windows Explorer, right click on the folder where the database is and choose properties.  Click on th esecurity tab and ensure that the internet gues account has access to the folder.

You absolutely can through an ODBC connection.  Are you using DB2 on an AS/400?\n\nSee the following instructions:\nhttp://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2016569.asp

You can get everything you need here:\n\nhttp://www.devshed.com/c/a/Python/MySQL-Connectivity-With-Python/\n\nThere's a really nice article on where to get it, install it and use it.\n\nGood luck.

Using either PHP or ASP use ADO to establish your connection to either database and fetch your data that way.  You will need to install the Oracle OLE or ODBC driver.  I have not done this in the Unix / Linux world but it is so easy to do in the windows world.  Here is the ado connection strings you will need to do it.  I know this is written for Windows but it is somewhat similar in the Linux / Unix world.\n\n\nhttp://www.carlprothman.net/Default.aspx?tabid=81

Sure, it's easy to use.\n\nSee http://www.connectionstrings.com/ for an example of a MySQL connection string.\n\nGo to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/1.0.html to download a .NET MySQL connector.

Ha ha, I can see you are really not confident with the answers you got here....\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlI9gwykBhVeKvyNGEdFIuLsy6IX?qid=20061117134707AA5pMtM\n\n...all the best.....\n\nalso try the microsoft access public groups and google groups.\n\nlol\n\n\nI can see that you got a solution there which is basically a similar approach to web services. Under VB.NET, a web service would work better for you because you can more easily transfer data between the server and you client app using Datasets. It provides a cleaner model for your application. But anyway, the idea is just the same... either way you have a script running between your app and the databse on the remote server. The sample on planetsourcecode is good and if that works better for you its excellent.

just install vb6 runtime which can be downloadable from net and also the system should be registered with the supported ocx and dll which is needed by your software..

First off, have you checked here ---\nhttp://www.damnsmalllinux.org/f/forum-2-26-0-0.html\nfor tips and tricks?\nOr have you checked the DSL faqs?\nhttp://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ\nChecked at Linux Forums for answers?\nhttp://www.linuxforums.org/forum/\nChecked the how to's at Linux questions?\nhttp://www.linuxquestions.org/\nDid you read --\nhttp://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-dsl.html?ca=dgr-wikiaDSLLinux\nhttp://www.damnsmalllinux.org/applications.html\n\nThese are just a few of the resources the web has to offer. I didn't actually find the way to use DSL and write to files. As I may have overlooked something in my search, I'd recommend that you look those sites over carefully.\nIt may be that you cannot do what you wish to. You may need to switch to another distro, like fedora, ubuntu or any of several of others to accomplish what you want. DSL is, after all, meant to boot and run from a CD. There are limits.

gethostbyip()  - thats a perl module right ???\n\nshould be able to pipe each line of the tail into a little perl program where you call the module subroutine and display it to the terminal . . . \n\ntail access.log | little_program.pl\n\n\nyou can forget the gethostbyip stuff and maybe just use the linux shell command\n\nnslookup host \n\n\n\nor something like that

Download the oracle drivers classes12.jar. That will let you connect to Oracle

Have you tried Crystal XI - they have extended their db access methods. However you could always use ODBC or OLEDB...
