myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: mysql.dsl or .tar.gz (could someone make one?)
can someone do a dsl or .tar.gz of mysql that will work with monkey web server?
it is definately beyond my level of skill.
ico2, I have made one, but I could never upload it to the repository. Take a look at the last post in this topic: yet another way to make dsl files
Has anyone given the sql that comes with the dsl distro a try? SQLlite? I see there are bindings for PHP and python on Debian for it. That might make a really cool how-to, using SQLite and perl or one of those others to interact with data from a web page. You know, post a form, collect data, process it, and make a new page from it. Show people how to use SQLite, and perhaps they wouldn't need mySQL
I got interested in mySQL because I wanted to make a fantasy football server. I though "hey, these games could be web based off of databases, I'll make a foutune!" Then I did a quick Google search to see how many there already were. To bad I had the idea few weeks ago and not a few years ago. So you'll have to forgive me if I seem soured on the whole database thing.
In fact, John's SQLite book is just a web page, so you might be able to interface to SQLite from the straight out of the box DSL. Look under the Apps->Office->SQLite Book menu and it pops up. It would be nice to have a beginner's level how to on doing things with SQLite and perl or PHP.
