So please stay with static TCP port assigment. 30.04.2004 / Dan + ---- + + Please consider Tabular Data Stream (TDS) protocol. This is the protocol used by Sybase and MS SQL Server. If you make the wire protocol TDS, then you can use many of the client tools available for SQL Server, etc., including FreeTDS and JDBC. + + From the FreeTDS web site: + _:Technically speaking, FreeTDS is an open source implementation of the TDS (Tabular DataStream) protocol used by these databases for their own clients. It supports many different flavors of the protocol and supports several APIs to access it. Additionally FreeTDS works with other software such as Perl and PHP, providing access from those languages as well. There is also a native (type 4) JDBC driver available for platform-independent Java clients (including Java Server Pages applications), with support for most of the JDBC 1 API and portions of the JDBC 2 API. + + <HTML> + <P>Tabular Data Stream (TDS) is defined <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabular_Data_Stream">here</A></P> + <P>See <A href="http://www.freetds.org/">FreeTDS Project</A></P> + <P>The protocol is described on <A href="http://www.freetds.org/tds.html">this page</A></P> + </HTML> + + 30.04.2004 / e
