Yeah, you could do it in PHP but I don't see the point. You could do it in Perl, too, I suppose. The choices may be limited even more by the availability of latest drivers for all of the various target databases. This might -- painfully -- rule out Ruby since I have not been able to find a 10g or 11g client for it. C++ may be overkill for this too, since you'd have to go through the entire modify-compile-link cycle everytime you made a change. So it may be that Python would represent the best choice, assuming up-to-date drivers for Oracle exists -- and I think that's the case. -Fred -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
