RE: FLASH: Using Flash with Database?

[Tim Layton]

Thanks for the reply...  I have a lot of programming experience with Perl

and PHP3 so I am interested in learning more about what IMHO is?  I am not

familiar of what the acronym means??  I have a very strong programming

background and years of Unix experience as well.  I typically use MySQL or

Postgres for my SQL db and usually develop it on a Solaris platform.  I am

coming at this thing from a programmers view point and am just starting to

learn tools like Flash, etc.  The dynamics and visual effects that Flash can

bring to a site is awesome and I want to take advantage of what Flash has to

offer.

Tim,


"... but what about connection to a traditional SQL db via Perl or

another CGI method on a tradition Unix platform? ...  I have seen this

done for stuff like mail forms, but was wondering if anyone has done

something on a larger scale?  I was thinking along the lines of an

E-commerce site connecting to a SQL database for their products..."


This not only is feasible but, IMHO, offers a better approach.

I've used Flash as a front end for a very large database (approx. 54Gb

of data) using PHP and am currently developing an e-commerce solution

for a client that also uses Flash.
