I am trying to develop a solution using which I can access Microsoft Access
databases on a Windows NT/2000 server/workstation from a SAS program running
on a Tru64 UNIX box. SAS on Tru64 UNIX does not have the ability to talk
ODBC, but I am willing to work with a C API or something similar (Perl?
Tcl?). I am contemplating writing a Win32 console executable in VB and
passing it the required parameters via a file. The executable will be run
via a telnet / rsh session on the Windows box and the results passed back
via a file. Ugly, but the easiest solution that I could come up with given
my lack of understanding of the networked database connectivity/ODBC world.
Have you faced this problem and developed a different type of solution that
avoids the intermediate files? Any help in the general direction of a
solution is appreciated. I have visited the Digital UNIX data access page
and looked at the documentation of the free Intersolv product that is
available for download, but I don't think those products provide me with a
solution. I may be mistaken.
Thanks,
George.
