Read SQL database from Unix...
Hi there,
I am new here and looking for a bit of help... I don't don't know much about Unix but I've tried to include as much info as possible.
We currently operate our system as a bespoke on SCO 5.05 with Informix databases. This includes a financials package called "Multisoft".
Both reside on our Unix box and any update is via a flat file transfer (ie for invoice posting) or shared tables.
We are now at the point where Multisoft can no longer be supported so we are switching to Sage Line 500 (SQL Database) - but this will be on a Windows 2003 box networked to the Unix environment.
I am pretty confident that the flat file transfer will work ok, but a problem will arise where programs on the Unix box currently validate details (eg customer credit limits) against the shared tables (some of these will now be on Windows).
Esssentially, what I would l like to know is if it is possible for our unix programs to read the new SQL databases as before either directly or via an a data driver?
Many thanks for your help.

radsqlrelay
RADSQLRELAY(8) FreeRADIUS helper program RADSQLRELAY(8)
NAME
radsqlrelay - relay SQL queries to a central database server
SYNOPSIS
radsqlrelay [-?] [-d sql_driver] [-b database] [-f file] [-h host] [-u user] [-P port] [-p password] [-1] [-x] file_path
DESCRIPTION
radsqlrelay tails a SQL logfile and forwards the queries to a database server. Used to replicate accounting records to one (central) data-
base, even if the database has extended downtime.
The SQL logfile is created by the rlm_sql_log module. The module must be configured in the radiusd server before you can use radsqlrelay.
OPTIONS
-? Print usage help information.
-d sql_driver
Driver to use: mysql, pg, oracle.
-b database
Name of the database to use.
-f file
Read password from file, instead of command line.
-h host
Connect to host.
-u user
User for login.
-P port
Port number to use for connection.
-p password
Password to use when connecting to server.
-1 One-shot mode: push the file to database and exit.
-x Turn on debugging.
file_path
The pathname of the SQL logfile to use.
NOTES
Oracle driver
The command "radsqlrelay -d oracle -b db.domain.tld sql-relay" reads the database description stored in $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora:
db.domain.tld =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db.domain.tld)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = <DB SID>)
)
)
