Winwedge - DDE - MySQL
Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2005 3:23 pm
I am goign to be creating phone log system that will dump phone records to a database which I will use with php to do some fun stuff with the data.
Winwedge is an application that can either parse the phone logs and dump them to a text file, or dump them directly to a database...using DDE. I'm not familar with DDE but from what I gather on the winwedge site, it is basically a database driver. On their site they say you can use DDE to dump to an access database or a MSSQL database. I'd like to dump it all to a MySQL database if that's possible.
my question then is two-fold: One is DDE a database driver? And two, if so, can it talk to MySQL.
I've already tossed around the idea of parsing the txt files that winwedge can create and dumping the data to a MySQL DB from there, but that was met with great resistance by the IT dood here...he wants it all to be "realtime"...I tried to explain that I could parse it "realtime" to no avail.
please let me know,
thx for your time,
Burr
