Can you query SLX DB with standard ADODB.Connection? Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

My DBADM is telling me that you have to have some kind of slx-specific provider to be able to access the SLX database from vbscript. Is this true? Can I not just use a read-only u/n and pw to bind to the server on a specific port and query the DB? ...or in other words, the sqloledb provider will not work?

This will work , but however it is recommended to use this API to connect to DB while creating,updating records in SalesLogix Database. For Selecting records ordinary ODBC will works charm.

The API takes care of updating necessary related tables, for offline synchronization.

It is just a SQL/Oracle database. You can query the data just as you would any SQL/Oracle database. However, using the SLX provider you will have security built in, so the user who's credentials are used to authenticate will only see those records that he/she has access to. This is all for reading from the database only. Once you start talking about updating the database a whole new set of caveats apply.
