| Daemoen | they dont have that setup |
| peerce | um, osql is part of SQL Server, even SQL Express command line tool its in a nasty path on windows somewhere in \program files\ |
| Daemoen | ahhh dont have terminal server access. |
| peerce | oh christ. |
| Daemoen | very few *shared* hosts will ever give out terminal server access on a windows box :p |
| peerce | then someone will need a windows box (can be XP) with the SQL Server tools. oh, this is a SHARED WINDOWS HOST? run away. now. |
| Daemoen | i said that earlier. dont have a choice linux cant run asp.net 2 |
| peerce | sure you do. walk away. |
| Daemoen | even under mono. |
| peerce | find a new partner or something. |
| Daemoen | heh, thats easy for someone in a it based location im in the middle of fuckin nowhere if mono supported asp.net 2.0 id find a way of getting a linux host that uses mono but then, you still have the issue of sql version being ms |
| peerce | Init-X; found your DNS. Init-X: http://pastebin.ca/376700 mono is a joke chasing a moving target. |
| Daemoen | :-p ill take mono over true windows any day |
| peerce | you a php programmer or what? http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/alberto20000919.php3 thats how to access SQL server from PHP on linux. |
| Daemoen | that might work :) |
| peerce | if you prefer java, I'm sure there's jdbc jars too |
| Init-X | peerce-> thank you :p |
| peerce | you should realize, that windows mysql server might not all any access from outside. in fact, they'd be damn stupid to allow it unless you have some sort of VPN access |
| Daemoen | they have it setup to allow the sql management tools from 2005 and such to allow it the server is not overly secure from what i can tell as when you connect to the shared provider, you can *see* everyones stuff, just cant "access" it... but there are ways around that |
| peerce | I suggest you jump to page 4 of that article, and start with ODBC, I'm pretty sure TDS is deprecated and unsupported. |
