Обсуждение: programming language for postgresql
dear friends, i am intending to do is to have a database system where there is a server for storage of data and a multiuser application distributed over a network of computer. i would like to have a similar system to what i did with microsoft access as the database and vb6 as the programming language that connects to access and creates the gui. thanks. ramon __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

For web pages php is light and easy to write in. Java for a more interactive application. Cheers Noel

Although I use perl and php to connect to the Postgresql database I'm
pretty sure you can use VB as your programming language. I think there
are some here that have used VB.
It's probably better (faster to develop?) to use the language you are
familiar with.

As long as the language will allow the application goals to be met, I totally agree. Sean
I've used Microsoft access with odbc no problems (that couldn't be solved - it was a long time ago) Glenn -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-novice-owner@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-novice-owner@postgresql.org] On Behalf Of Sean Davis Sent: Tuesday, 25 January 2005 10:29 PM To: pgsqlnovice Subject: Re: [NOVICE] programming language for postgresql On Jan 25, 2005, at 2:33 AM, brew@theMode.com wrote: > > Ramon..... > >> i would like to have a similar system to what i did with microsoft >> access as the database and vb6 as the programming language that >> connects >> to access and creates the gui. > > Although I use perl and php to connect to the Postgresql database I'm > pretty sure you can use VB as your programming language.

You can do the same thing via ODBC. I have converted several MS Access applications to use PostgreSQL as a backend, with great success. A few points: * Look at a migration tool, to make your life easier. I have had excellent results with the "database migration wizard" that comes with PgAdminII, the earlier version of the PgAdminIII administration tool (unfortunately, the wizard has not been added to III yet AFAIK). Look at http://www.pgadmin.org (which seems to be down as I write this). * Download the psqlodbc driver, and read the FAQs and hints for Access and VB users that you can find on the project page: http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc * Your application may run fine without any changes whatever, or you may need to make some changes: there are some issues with running MS Access in client-server mode, which may or may not cause your app a problem. There is an excellent coverage of Access client-server issues in the well-known "Access Developer's Handbook". For example, for reports, you may need to make some of your queries into pass-through queries, in order to make them more efficient. * Subscribe to the pgsql-odbc mailing list, and post your questions there. The archives for that list will have lots of material that will be helpful for you. > > > thanks. > > ramon > > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?

Hi Ramon, If you want a VB like experience then: 1) use VB or 2) use REALbasic + pgSQL4RB which is a specialized solution for PostgreSQL. You can find all about it by googling for pgSQL4RB. RB (REALbasic) is very similar to VB and there are conversion tools to go from VB to RB. But RB will also compile for Linux and Macintosh (OS 9 and OS X). Marc
Ramon, get a look at Clarion for Windows - www.softvelocity.com It is a full development language, WITH a VERY powerful code generation facility. I am concluding you're new to programming, and if that's true, you'll bennefit a lot from Clarion. You will connect to the PG via a very easy to set ODBC DSN, and as you develop as a programmer, you can forget about the DSN and program the connection strings directly. I advise you to get the Professional version of Clarion, if you're interested on it, instead of the Enterprise, as the Pro version does EVERYTHING the Enterprese one, and is a lot cheaper. The extras that come with the Enterprise won't add anything for you, believe me. If you have any further questions about Clarion, feel free to send me an email directly at gustavo@ultrasys.com.br I have a "why Clarion" PDF that you might be interested in. HTH Gustavo
