WWW access to Ingres database
: You will probably find ingperl (which is an extension to the perl
: language to allow it to access an Ingres database) helpful. Check the
: newsgroup comp.lang.perl. If you are not already using perl I recommend
: you give it a try.
If you want to get ingperl, then the following might be helpful, it's
from section 03.002 of the FAQ (ftp.adc.com in /pub/ingres):
03.002 ingperl, sqlperl and DBperl
There is a variant of Larry Wall's popular `perl' language that
provides a full-function (ie read/write) SQL interface to CA-INGRES
(and significantly NOT to University Ingres). It is referred to
by all of the above names by different people in different posts.
The INGRES-friendly variant is available for anonymous ftp from:
ftp.demon.co.uk (/pub/perl/db/perl4/ingperl)
As mentioned in the README file at that location, and it bears
repeating here, there is an effort underway to define a standard API
that will allow perl to access ALL the popular RDBMSs and it would be
well to keep an eye on that process so that you don't end up being
surprised that you've written a lot of non-standard code.
