Thread: PostGreSQL and LiveWire??
On a Unix (Solaris 2.6 + Netscapte enterprise) i have to interconnect a database and an internet site. I would like to know if i can use LiveWire (netscape solution) to work with PostGreSQL. Particularely, i have to secure an access by using a user profile saved in a database. So if you have example which use PostGreSQL, it'ld be great. Thanks a lot ------------------------- Fabien FERDINANDY fabien.cogelog@wanadoo.fr France -------------------------

That is, you have to use a unix ODBC system, install the PostgreSQL ODBC driver, and then use it as the database source. I never tried this, though. As for questions about the ODBC driver and even this particular question, the INTERFACES list is probably more appropriate. Herouth -- Herouth Maoz, Internet developer.

Doesn't LiveWire support Java? If memory serves, it is server side JavaScript with the capability to interface to server side Java code. Since PostGreSQL has a JDBC set of drivers, this sounds like it may be a quite feasible way to go without needing to configure ODBC...

In theory, this is possible, however, it makes your work very hard. Instead of using the Server-side Javascript methods for database connection pools and database connections, you have to write Java objects to do the same things and use them. Makes for a lot of work in development. Besides, I'm not sure which version of Java is currently supported by LiveWire, but it always lags behind the current market release of Java.
