Connect to database questions

I am in the process of creating a qualified parts list which will be stored inside a database.

 

I have watched the db connection you tube video "beyond basics"  and I see that OLE connections are pretty easy to use.  That scenario is fine if the database will be used by a small group but my goal is to post the db on a sever for a more networked solution.

 

I was thinking of using firebird which can be a stand alone "embedded db" or the same db can be created as stand alone and migrated to a server.

 

Has anyone connected autocad to non Microsoft product with success?  If so can you please provide some insight?

 

Thanks in advance

Tim C.

Hi @timothy_crouse,

 

I have never tried to connect to a non-MS database but i suspect that as long as you can make the ODBC connection you aren't likely to have issues.

 

I would suggest that you take the plunge and mock this up as it shouldn't take too long.  I would love to hear if it works successfully for you.

Hi @timothy_crouse,

 

Have you had a chance to test this yet?  Are there additional resources to which I can direct you?
