Re: some help please - WEB front to INFORMIX back

Hi David, We use ColdFusion to write web pages that query IDS 7.31.UC2 on Solaris (and come to that various other database packages around the site). Works a treat. Mainly selects at the moment but insert/updates are not too onerous. It's reasonably quick to get the hang of, basically just a mix of html and sql. Hope this helps Regards Ollie "Goldsbrough, David" wrote: > > A few of us around here are reasonable INFORMIX programmers - mostly SE > i4gl. > > Some of us have just started branching out and developing very simplistic > WEB pages for internal use on intranet. > > We realise that it should be possible to use a WEB browser as a front end to > an INFORMIX back end database - both from an extract and add/update point of > view. > > Our Informix databases reside on UNIX platforms which we are able to access > using some third party terminal emulator. > > Our WEB servers sit on Windows NT machines - but on the same internal > network. > > We are willing to learn and make mistakes and just need pointing in a few > general directions in order to get us going.
