Hi

I'm database administrator into a romanian big firm and I need data extractions from a PROGRESS 9.1D database server on SUN Solaris 8.
I can do it useing an Windows application build in Visual C++ with ODBC API but I didn't prefer this solution.
I should use an Apache server on that Sun Solaris server with PHP support, and I should build an web-base application for this.

Do you think that it's posssible to extract Progress database server based on Sun Solaris useing Apache server with PHP support?

Regards!

I belive it's possible as PHP itself support various of ODBC connections. And as you say that you allready use an application with ODBC connection I see no issues.
If the functions that the PHP core however doesn't work, you might want to try using a 3rd party ODBC drivers.

I'm not familiar with Progress or Solaris so I can't be certain, but I see no real issues that it shouldn't work.

Good luck!
