Hi,
I'm quite sure if this newsgroup is suitable for my question but I'll
give it a try.
I'd like to port an application of mine which is currently just curses
driven to a guish one. For now, all users ssh(normal login and password)
to a linux server and start the app by typing its name on the prompt. So
they are all starting the same executable on the server. So I don't have
to bother with any remote database connections.
If I'm gonna change to a gui app now (e.g. qt), I'm not sure how to
handle database requests. For security reasons I shouldn't open the
database (Informix Online) to listen on any network interfaces (except
lo). Do I really have to write a sophisticated client-server application
then? Are there any other solutions? Maybe anyone here on this ng has
done such porting yet?
Thanks in advance,
Theo
