.pl or .ksh file access to Progress DB

[rich Zed]

Just been asked a question regarding script access to the Progress database in order to do queries/updates?

This is something I used to see done in oraperl for Oracle databases.

Is this something that can be easily done against Progress?

I have many scripts which launch progress programs, which then do OS commands, etc, but am looking for something that could manipulate the database ad hoc.cheers

Zed,

You can find Progress and Perl examples in the knowledge base.

For example:

KB-20491: Perl Program to Extract Table and Index Information


What's wrong with 4GL /or ABL ?

What are you trying to accomplish ?
