[ILUG] MySQL & SAGE

[Liam O'Hagan]

Hi Stephen,

My experience with interfacing with SAGE (Line50 and Line100) is in a
Windows environment only. You need to get the developer's toolkit from Sage
(a bit costly BTW). Line100 comes with an ODBC driver, if that's any help.

We do a similar type of thing in that we process billing information and
then write the invoices into a number of accounts packages (including Sage).
Once you have the develop's toolkit, it's a doddle to talk to MySQL and Sage
at the same time (I use Visual Foxpro - very nice tool).

Liam
