External database access

[jmng]

Might be very awesome plugin/extra if there were a possibility of connecting dynamic data from external (odbc?) databases.

Thanks for the suggestion jmng, this feature is currently in our suggestions database for future consideration.

Yes, talking about databases, Brett had an idea for a native SQLite
connectivity that would be all beefed up. I'm hoping for a further
developments of that idea, since LuaSQL (http://www.keplerproject.org/luasql/) project offers quite a head
start for this one...

You can already connect to the ODBC from APMS; just follow the guide
for the MySQL database connectivity (http://www.indigorose.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19965) available in the forums, and do
some small code modification. (However, please note that remote
database servers are only supported for MySQL and PostgreSQL
drivers, the others support only localhost servers.)

Can you point me in the right direction as to what code I need to modify to get it to connect with ODBC?

Thanks.
