Hello all,

We have a small and very convoluted database written in (ohh do I have
to say it) Access (that hurt me worse than it did you). I badly need to
do something with the mess of data that somebody put together. I am not
excited about doing a bunch of work in Oracle since it will not be
updated or supported. Is there a way I can use the Btreieve that comes
with Netware? What other options do I have? I do not have any nor do I
wish to setup any NiceTry boxes. We do have access 2000 but again not
really interested do to the fact that we will NOT be continuing with the
MS product line.

Also there are parts of the data that I would like to put on our
intranet. I am using the Novonix webserver currently.

One more thing, I need to do this as cheap and easy as possible

Sybase's SQL Anywhere Studio fully supports NetWare.  It's a nice little database. I don't know if it's in you price range but you can download a free 60 day trial to see what you think.  They also have some conversion tools to automatically migrate the data from MS Access to SQL Anywhere.

MySQL and PostgreSQL are currently in beta stage on NetWare.

If you can wait maybe 2 or 3 months, you'll can get it for a production use
(it's what I think. Currently, there is no date for a stable/production
release, AFAIK).

Thanks for your input. I will look into these options.

If the row or record size is small (< 1k) then use NDS or eDirectory as a
data store.

- Use the Netscape Enterprise Server that comes with NetWare and servlets.

If the row or record size is not small (>= 1k) then choose between:

- Btrieve
-- Not certain how to connect to this via a web application server.
- MySQL
-- This would have to run from a MS environment or a Unix environment.
-- In the case of both environments the files could be kept on a NetWare
volume if desired.
-- I think it can accept JDBC connections, but I'm not certain.
--- If it accepts JDBC connections then servlets running on NetWare can
access and manipulate the data it has.
- Oracle
-- Can be connected to via a web application server via JDBC or SQL*Net.
- Pervasive SQL
-- Can be connected to via a web application server via JDBC.
