Well I tried NaviCat and some others, they seem to work. Perhaps
the problem was with REALbasic.
I don't know the details of REALBasic, but perhaps it uses ODBC or
some other "generic" connection method. In this case, you probably
have to do some additional setup and configuration.
I can connect via perl, also, which is good.
What's a good way to store the database logic?
Say for example, I want to do something to the database, can I just
say something like DataBasePleaseTryRegisterUser( "name",
"details", "serial", "etc" ); where DataBasePleaseTryRegisterUser
would be some kind of function stored in the database itself?
Or should I put the logic into my perl files? And treat the
database as just that, a blind database which can store invalid data.
PostgreSQL has excellent stored procedure/function support. I prefer
to use that whenever possible. The starting points are CREATE
FUNCTION and pl/pgsql:
