DBTCP
What is it ?
DBTCP is a proxy server for ODBC connection.
Allow to make a query from a linux machine to a database in a Windows
machine trough ODBC.
Allow to connect all ODBC compliant databases from a Linux server from shell scripts, perl via DBD and PHP.
DBTCP is released under GPL.
Why a proxy for odbc connections ?
The main reason for using dbtcp is the lack of support for a few odbc databases under Linux and the fact that you can use multiple dbtcp clients on a pay-per-odbc-connection database management system.
Where I can get it ?
Source for the client part ( tested only on linux ) and binary windows
server. ( Latest version 0.1.18 - 14 Jul 2004 ) dbtcp
We use DBFTP for dumping databases from Windows ( MDB ) to a Linux machine
running mysql, also we use the same client
library to create dynamic html pages on linux based on data avalaible only
on Windows machine.
Can I run dbtcp as a NT service ?
Yes, you can run dbtcp as a service using firedaemon.
Data dumping from Windows to MySQL
To dump data from a remote DSN to mysql you can do something like this:
echo "SELECT * FROM mytable" | dbtcp DSN=mydsn myserver > /export/data.sql
echo "LOAD DATA INFILE '/export/data.sql' INTO TABLE mytable FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\''" | mysql mydatabase
