Can I connect to a ElevateDB server from Linux? |

Edward Jones | I have an ElevateDB server running on an XP Home machine and naturally the other XP
clients can happily connect to it. I also have some Linux boxes (Fedora 10 and Ubuntu) and would like to see if I can get them to connect to the ElevateDB server aswell. Is this possible and if so how? Regards Edward Jones |

"Raul" | This is best addressed by Tim.
however, i think the answer is probably not. There is no native Linux version of ElevateDB (e.g. Kylix) as far as i can tell and also all dev environments are Win32 (http://www.elevatesoft.com/prodinfo?action=view&product=edb&no=2). The possible options to look into (but no idea if any would work): - Lazarus in theory can be compiled on/for Linux - ODBC or ODBC thru something like Mono Raul "Edward Jones" <edward.jones@nvs-ltd.co.uk> wrote in message news:41B6D779-1A11-41BA-89A4-279C663708E8@news.elevatesoft.com... >I have an ElevateDB server running on an XP Home machine and naturally the >other XP > clients can happily connect to it.

It will be once we get the Lazarus/FP version of ElevateDB ported to Linux. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Edward Jones | OK, thanks for letting me know. Connecting from a Linux (or even to a Linux) box is just a nice-have not a must-have for me at the moment but
it is good to know that it is there somewhere on the roadmap!

"Raul" | Good point - app or even EDB server might run with this now "as is".
I wonder if anyone has tested it?

<< I wonder if anyone has tested it? >> We haven't tested it, so I can't really say. But, we stick pretty close to the standard Win32 API calls and don't call anything really esoteric, so it should work. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

"Raul" | Alright - i had to try it out and seems to start fine.
