Hi, I need an application to dump some information to a server. Part of the information is stored in a firebird-database. The server has some text-based protocol over tcp. For every entry in the database, I need to send the server a "get"-command with a parameter from the database. If the parameter is OK, I get a positive acknowledge, together with data (some lines of text). I temporarily store these lines. If a certain line exists, I need to modify it with data from the database (same record as the parameter). If it does not exist, I need to insert it. Then I send a "put"-command followed by those lines. When this is OK, I get a positive aknowledge from the server, otherwise I get a negative acknowledge. I have to do this for all records in the database (at least 2500 records). I would like to do this in a visual way, so the user can monitor the proceedings. Unfortunately, I don't really know how to do this. Does anyone have some skeleton to do this ? I would like to use "visual-lnet", but other network-approaches are welcome. The tests I did (only sending the get-command) indicate the response is in one ethenet-packet, but I don't know if this is always the case. It's no problem if it's "quick-and-dirty" because the application should only be used once.
