connect to publicly avaiable database
Posted: Mon Jun 20, 2011 2:40 pm
There is gov web site that is publicly available http://webprod.hc-sc.gc.ca/dpd-bdpp/index-eng.jsp
Here anyone can go and type Drug Identification Number (DIN) and the site will return lots of information about particular drug.
I would like for example to develop web application that would connect to this same database and query it for particular drug.
Since I would need host name,database name,user name,password to connect to this same database how would i do this.
Other example is canada 411 http://www.canada411.ca/. I would like to have custom php application to connect to canada 411 database.
Is this actually possible to do?
Any info would be great
