Does ELEVATE DB CS with Source come with an ODBC driver?
Can you access the database via javascript ?

it's unclear which product you mean.

The "ElevateDB VCL Client-Server with Source Code" does not come with ODBC as as far as i know. It's meant for delphi developers to embed in applications.

The "ElevateDB DAC Client-Server with Source Code" does come with ODBC and is meant for other developers - visual studio, etc.

I don't think so and even if it could it would be a major security hole - javascript runs inside client browser so you'd effectively have to expose your whole database to the client including login info, etc.

A preferred way to achieve this would be to write a back-end web service that interacts with the database and then Javascript would simply talk to the web service.

And, as mentioned on the blog, we're close to releasing our native PHP
extension for EDB, which is really nice for writing database web apps.

Tim,

I did see the post and i'm definitely lookign forward to trying it out.
Been mostly doing .Net stuff for web things lately but this is a reason
enough to give PHP a try again.
