Re: [INTERFACES] PGSQL and Javascript

Hello all.

Is there a way to directly access PGSQL from a Javascript application?
With no application server intervention, I mean.
Just like libq allows access from C/C++.

May be Javascript + JDBC not sure.

But the question is why would you want to do so?
Javascript can be read easily by the user having the javascript
running on their browser. JDBC or any other database connecting client
will want to some how authenticate the user in most cases the
username, password and maybe remote IP is used. This mean that your
javascript will probably contain username and password in order to use
JDBC to connect to the DB, is this favourable?

No. I'm not sure how that could be done given the security concerns.

I'd like to write part of the application in Javascript, server side, not in
the web page.

The usual way to handle it is to let the JavaScript code call a
server-side script through an XMLHttpRequest() object.

I missed your point. Do a google search for javascript interpreters in the
language of your choice. For example, there is Rhino for java.

I already have a JS interpreter (spidermonkey) but there is no PGSQL
interfacing API!
This'd be why I'm asking.

Well you can add you own objects to Spidermonkey via its c api. So you
can implement something like Database object in c using libq and access
it from your script.

look at apache cocoon for serverside javascript (rhino engine)
you can direct access java classes. write all db stuff in java and
access it from js

var dao = Packages.my.own.package.DAOController.findAll();
Packages.java.lang.System.out.println(dao.myproperty);

Ah. Sorry again. No idea if this will be useful, but you might take a look

Hello, all,

If I wanna set a table's column in a certain record to NULL, with an INSERT command, what value should I set the NpgsqlParameter.Value property?

Best,
Oliveiros
