Sesame on the Internet

Hi _

I am very anxious to have a database on a web-site that can be accessed.  Has anyone done this who would be willing to discuss it with me?

I would like, at least, to get started with something simple, just to see how it works ... since I have never played with it, yet.

Thanks!

Are you referring to using extractor or file I/O in 1.1.4, or the built in web abilities in 2.0?

Mark -

Since I don't yet have 2.0, I am referring to 1.1.4 and, of course, I will use 2.0 as soon as it is available.  

Since I am eager to "test it", I want to see what I can do in 1.1.4.

Thanks!

In Sesame 1.1.x, there are several approaches you can take to working with web pages, everything from authoring them using file I/O or reports (which are HTML), to interacting with CGI scripts via file I/O or ASCII imports. What approach you take depends very much on what you seek to accomplish, how integrated your Sesame server is with your HTML server, your experience with CGI languages, etc....

Hello, Spencer! I remember learning some nifty Q&A tricks by reading your informative posts on Compuserve. There were also some helpful moderators named Lance and Ofer.  Nice to wander across your message-boarding again, Sir.  Cheesy

TheCow, could I trouble you for some info about "the built in web abilities in 2.0"? The prospect of interwebificating (yes) a database has got my ears up. Thanks!

No trouble. Sesame 2.0 has a simple built in web server. It is not supposed to replace a full web server like Apache, but to work in conjunction with it. It has the ability to interact with Sesame applications, has a simple CGI capabilities like search or post, and a built in web page "merge" capability.

Additionally, Sesame 2.0 has several internet oriented SBasic commands, including commands to query web pages, parse HTML and XML, and transfer files. Sesame 2.0 also has commands to send and receive email, and commands for general networking.

All versions of Sesame use HTML for the format of reports. So any version of Sesame can be used to generate web pages, that can be easily transferred to a web site using file transfer commands using @Shell and @ASynchShell.

Thanks! The ability to get a search to it and spit something back in reply is intriguing.

The current version of Sesame 1.1.4 (and several early version as well) have that ability using the Sesame Extractor program which can easily be called from within a CGI script (Perl, PHP, Python, etc...) using standard I/O. You may want to experiment with it to see if it meets your needs.
