Hi Guys/gals, we want to connect our emulator to an external database server (like MySql).Is this kind of a connection supported by the emulator.We are using the Series60 FeaturePack2 sdk version 2.0. Can we do it by using the Ethernet Plug-in?
hey we have been able to create,insert and retreive data from a database on the emulator.now we want to enhance it 'n connect to a database external to the emulator (maybe Ms Access or My Sql).can someone tell us how to do it.
ya we have used a socket application to connect to another machine on teh network . also we have accessed some urls from the emulator using the emulator wap browser .
how to connect to an external database server from emulator
Are you asking about connecting to and executing SQL statements from the device to external database servers? I am also interested in this but I don't think it is available yet, someone needs to do all the hard work.
ya AK, u r right. i wanted to do just that but today i discovered that series 60 doesn't support external database like MySql.It is supported in Series 80 onwards. for taht we need a DALP(Database Access Library for Pda's) object to connect.
