    Lightbulb How May I connect from Windows NT to Unix

    Hello world ! I am trying to develop a program to connect from a windows nt OS to a SUN-Unix v 4.0 Server and once connected to run an .exe program obtain/bring the result back to my windows nt computer. Is it possible? To connect to SQL Server I use this the following . How would it be for a unix machine?...
    if ( SQLAllocEnv(&henv) != SQL_SUCCESS ) printf("cant create ODBC enviro.\n");
    if ( SQLAllocConnect(henv, &hdbc) != SQL_SUCCESS ) printf("cant create ODBC connection variable.\n");


    printf("database name: %s, username: %s, password %s.\n", DBNAME, DBUNAME, DBPWD);

    rc = SQLConnect(hdbc, (UCHAR *)DBNAME, SQL_NTS, (UCHAR *)DBUNAME, SQL_NTS, (UCHAR *)DBPWD, SQL_NTS);
    if ( ( rc != SQL_SUCCESS ) && ( rc != SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO ) ) {
    printf("Oops!!!!! No se pudo conectar al base de datos!!!!!\n");
    printf("Error = %s. \n", rc);
    printf("\n\nMarca ENTER para continuar
    }
    printf("Connected to Database xxx %s.\n", DBNAME);

    Some Socket info here.... There are many socket tutorials around, you'll need to look up one for NT as well.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Thanks for replaying me. Could you please be more specific, I am not an expert programmer. This is my specific situation:

    There are several C++ APIs compile and installed in an Unix Server. I need to run these APIs on the Unix server from my Windows NT Computer carrying the APIs result to my PC. I read already about RPC application in order to create the STUBs files so both (pc(NT client)<-->Server(Unix) can talk by compiling using MIDL (Microsoft Interface Definition Languaje). MSDN is very specific about this topic but does not give you any complete examples of a short demostration.

    Thanks for any help you can give me !

    I don't have any sample code to give you that google doesn't already have

    With a quick search, this turned up.

    Once you work out how you're going to design your solution, post any problematic code here, and someone will help you.

    Good luck!
