Re: how to connect database from web

Although the below mentioned bug may / may not be related to the case described by you. Try to play around with the work around suggested. ========================================================================================= Refer Bug No : 74999 - From the release notes of 7.31 UC2 for IDS. It says thus : $connect to DBNAME@servername fails if the DBname contains Characters that are not valid in the client locale (After Code Set Conversion). Work Around : Split the connect to DBNAME@servername statement into two statements as follows : $connect to "@servername"; $Database DBNAME; ========================================================================================= HTH, Harinath Venkata Svenska Handelsbanken, New York
