Comment on Linux ODBC connection to MS SQL on Virtual Box Windows by Pip

Thanks, this article really helped me piece together the jigsaw of ODBC and TDS. I've now connected to a remote Windows SQLExpress server from a PHP app running on a Centos host.

Now I need to figure out why PHP segfaults when I select more than one column..!? :-/

Comment on Starting Android application from browser URI by Marcin Gil

The exact example has startonuri:// scheme.. So this is non-http. Eg. look also that any link with market:// scheme, launches Android Market when opened in Android’s browser.

Hello,

I tried it, but Google does not seem to accept non-http scheme. Any idea what I might do ?

I managed to get ubuntu 9.10 command prompt tsql to connect to SQL2005 Express on Windows XP with a freetds.conf content as follows:

[sqlexpress] host = 192.168.0.11 port = 1433 tds version = 7.0

where ip adr is XP machine. If i used an instance name instead of port it never connected. Now the next step is to open it from a php script. Thanks for the article. It was a great help.

thank you very much. I’m poking around with Bazaar and the “bzr init-repo” followed by “bzr init”.. I just couldn’t get this combination right on my own.
