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

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!

Just to reiterate, if you are running windows, you can use fpodbc to keep your
records in sync.

Fpodbc is an odbc client which has 2 methods of connecting to an odbc database.

Suggest you visit fp's web site http://www.fptech.com/ODBC.htm to check out this
product.
