>I am converting an existing Foxpro 5.0 application to client/server, which will use Oracle as a backend database.
>User ID and password are specified in the connection which is part of the database container in the front end. I left it empty so any user could log in to the backend with their own ID and password, which are entered upon starting our application. How could I pass this information as parameters to the connection?
Assumptions:
database=MyData
connection=conOracle
vueOracleTable = remote view from Oracle database
cUser = memory variable containing User ID
cPW = memory variable containing Password
OPEN DATABASE MyData
=DBSETPROP(conOracle,"CONNECTION","UserID",cUser)
=DBSETPROP(conOracle,"CONNECTION","PassWord",cPW)
USE vueOracleTable
