I want to communicate between progress front end and SQLserver, and so for I have gather information that
1. Use ODBC connetivity and between progress database and SQLserver
2. To communicate between progress front end and ODBC datasoruce, progress provides custom utility which I have buy.

Is there any other way where I can get the information from SQLserver.

To give more details, there are two application, application A is progress based with front end and back end as progress. Application B is Java based with Java front end and SQlserver as back end.

Now I want application A's frontend talk to Application B's back-end

How can this be done?

Appricaite your help and thanks inadvance
 
of course you could use web services to plug and play diff platforms.

but it would most likely require additional training and work on your part
and your company's


nothing personal, but companies sometimes pay millions on work,
contractors etc.

why is it that developers think spending a few hundreds more for a product
is out of the question ?

in most cases companies dont have a problem paying for products on the
other hand developers cant efford most products.


generally speaking the products have to go thru us the developer,
contractors etc.

we have to know how to use, support them, maybe build products on top
of them etc.

and in most cases were the ones recommending to use them even over
other products.

besides developers are cheap bustards (just kidding )

seams to me they should be making an effort to get on our good side :rolleyes:
but then again i'm a developer
 
I too would be interested to learn how I can use a Progress front-end (Progress OpenEdge UI) to talk to a SQL database, sat on a windows box.
I appreciate that I will need some form of ODBC to realise this. What would my steps be to realise a solution?
TIA
 
dataserver.

then you'd be able to run 4gl queries against sql server and run stored proc
using run stored-procedure statements.

there are tradeoffs, its mostly intended for integration.
