database connectivity

 [1/3] from: gchiu::compkarori::co::nz at: 6-Nov-2000 19:54


I'm toying with the idea of writing some scripts to track a few websites for specific information, and to update a database with the results. Is Rebol/command the only Rebol option? Or is Perl still the main bot writing language? -- Graham Chiu http://www.compkarori.co.nz/x.php?/zwiki/RebolTopics

Tim For an example of a bot script, see the rebol scripts library. Since you ask about database connectivity, there are several examples of text - based database scripts there as well. Graham Chiu wrote:

If indeed you are only tracking a "few" sites, /core will work just fine.

Perl has been around longer than rebol, C has been around longer than Perl, Cobol longer than either. You can write bots in all 3, and I've pretty much abandoned all 3 for rebol. :) Check out the scripts library, you will find it very helpful. Tim

Where can I get an example of a bot written in Cobol? This I have to see :-) Anyway, I have it figured out now. Since my scripts are not particularly time sensitive, my bot will just write it's results as a sql script into a specific directory, and a cron process will execute any scripts it finds there. That way I can update my database without the need for Rebol/command.

I see that the script library hasn't been updated for a couple of months now ... :-(
