Accessing slx_DBIDs from a remote Linux server Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Our application uses PHP in Linux platform but have saleslogix in a different server in Windows platform. Is there a way I can access slx_DBIDs remotely using PHP on Linux. If this is not possible, can this procedure be implemented as a stored procedure in SQL Server?

No. Not possible. You have to have the OLE DB Provider installed to use it. It won't work in a Linux environment.

Not really. The procedure is implemented in the SLX OLE DB Provider only. It is not a "real" function or procedure in the database. So, it is only available for use in a connection using the SLX provider. The answer here is no, you cannot call it from a SQL proc. However, you can use OLE objects in T-SQL, so you could use sp_OACreate to create an ADODB.Connection & ADODB.Recordset to call the slx_dbids proc inside a SQL proc. However, not the best idea IMO.

What I would suggest is to create a webservice on a Windows box that can make the calls to the slx_dbids proc (and other SLX functions as well) and pass results back to the PHP app on the Linux box.
