How to access a mySQL database as a Client?

restneophyte · 2014-11-22 01:16:02

On a Windows 8 64-bit machine, using Delphi XE7 Update 1, I adapted the '28 - Simple RESTful ORM Server' example, so that the server 'links' to a mySQL database stored in the cloud. Everything works as expected.

My question is 'how to I implement the client side?' As suggested in '16.2. Generating client wrappers,' I tried to generate the source code needed for client access. But, so far, all my attempts have failed. Am I going at it the wrong way?

What did you try exactly?
Honnestly, "Publishing the code generator" paragraph is pretty easy to follow.

I've added the wrapper generation method to '28 - Simple RESTful ORM Server' example.

I think the main difficulty is to put the right folder where the mustache templates would be found.
But I'm confident you would be able to do this!

Thank you for your help.

You were right. My program was not pointing to the right folder (in terms of the location of the mustache templates). Once I understood the nature of my problem, the fix was easy.

Great!

Any feedback from "cloud hosting" is very valuable.
Which kind of VM did you use? How did you install the mORMot server?

I will keep you pdated on my progress as my project moves along.

At this point in time, I am running the server locally as a console (on my own Windows 8 64-bit Virtual Machine). However, the server is 'connected' to an external mySQL database that is hosted in a different state.

Using Azure?

No, it is not Azure. It will be Amazon.
