Turing-MySQL (and maybe even PHP)

[JamesXm]

Is it possible to connect to a MySQL database, via Turing?

NOTE: I have looked into this in minor details. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No. Turing's compatability is very limited, not to mention that it is not meant for such things.

Thank you.

It is half possible, though highly inelegant. What you have to do is write php code to a file, using a .php extension, use the system command to have php interpret the file, and send output to another file. You can then use turing to read this final file. Again, doable, but highly inelegant.

what? no.... it's very possible you just need to write a mysql driver of somesort (using the network capabilites of turing) to get things working.. don't ask me for further details though

I'm sure that it's possible. Would be hilarious to just connect to some MySQL server instead of writing one of those common "database" assignments. Though the former is much more work I imagine.

I don't see a need though. Any speed gain you get from using MySQL over a writable file, you loose over your driver and slow net communication as that is one of Turing's weaker points.

SQLite?

anyway to inline C/C++ code into Turing?

There should be, since it is almost no extra work... Then I guess it wouldn't be Turing though, and you would have to have all the libs, etc.
