I have a friend that has a product which is composed of an embedded system
spread around Brazil and communicating with a central PC. I am convincing him
to migrate some of his PC tools to Pascal in order to ease my help for him.
The question I have is this: He has his own small SQL server on some of these
embedded cards and I would need to establish a connection via the database
components in Free Pascal to his SQL. I know nothing about SQL, only that Free
Pascal has interfaces to various SQL servers. How hard would it be to make an
interface to his SQL servers?
It depends very much. Does he have an API to access this SQL server ?
If so, it's just a matter of using this API to create an TSQLConnection.
If the connection happens on a low level, then it will be a bit harder.
By API do you mean an interpreter of the SQL commands, then yes. The
connection is made either via Internet/TCP or Modem/PPP.
