Hi all, Here's the deal... got a guy that wants a database written. It should be able to run on Netscrape/IE on either Linux or W$9X without having two versions. This program should be able to run on a single system, ie not online. Questions::: Is this possible? And would Java (or one of the free Java's) be the right thing to use. Any ideas would be helpful!

i'd personally use PHP + GNU/MySQL or PostgreSQL. PHP simply ROCKS. fast, easy, popular, great DB support. PHP supports easy use of templates, so its easy to define a look once, and then just apply that look to all your work, allowing you to spend your time workin on the code. anyway, check out www.php.net and www.mysql.com -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Linux Systems Engineer www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Fri, 14 Jan 2000, James (Jim) Hatridge wrote:

PHP is a quick&dirty embedded scripting language, made for web pages. It kinda/sorta resembles perl or C syntax. Main reason i like it, is its easy. A real programmer might be better off in perl, but perl warps my tiny brain. anyway, i used to compile PHP as a cgi.bin so i could write all my DBMS scripts in it. could backup and reload databases in just a few lines with PHP. made the transition from Informix to MySQL painless..heh -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Linux Systems Engineer www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Fri, 14 Jan 2000, Samy Elashmawy wrote:

Funny, but I agree with both Samy, and Troy. If you intend to write an interface that runs through a browser and cgi then I think Troy is right. . .Perl is the easiest and probably the best (if there is such a thing) way. If however you want a standalone app then Java or TCL/TK would work well. None of these are all that speedy, but they are pretty portable between the two systems if you are carefull. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.
