Reading from Standard In/Writing to Standard Out? (on Solaris)

[Tim Fischer]

I've got a situation where I need to keep a mysql database in sync with our
FilePro database.  Our idea is to use Standard in/out as a medium to
transfer data.  I don't know, however, to get FP to read to standard in or
write to standard out.

Does anyone use this or similar functionality anywhere?  Can you give me
somewhere to look for instruction or assistance?

Alternatively, is there a way to connect to a mysql server directly from FP?
(I'm guessing no, but it can't hurt to ask!)

Thanks!
