How can one database hosted in windows system be accessed and queryed by a Linux’s process ?
I have a web application with mysql and I am going to have to create a database in Linux then I need an application to access [inner join] tables in the database in windows with the one in Linux.
A project manager in my company is having an idea to send messages to yahoo messenger using server script and mysql database data. The messages are stored in a table and are fired on particular setup date. She uses the library made for Linux system to send the message (IPC type). I am kinda messed up wondering if this is actually feasible.
I conclude the guy actully doesn’t know what is IPC and just trys messing a usual library with messenger. or is it me ? Your ideas and explanation are what I will fight on Monday talks, I love mouth fights!
I bet he is using this http://labs.gree.jp/Top/OpenSource/DBus-en.html

A: Your best bet is probably either 1) sockets (if feasible), or 2) Web services
Q: What has he/she been smoking? Does the team get to share a toke or two?
This is really a separate issue. If the two servers are co-located on the same LAN, there are various “linkage” options.
Otherwise, I’d just treat the separate databases as separate databases and use some kind of web service (WCF might be a good choice on Windows; Tomcat or JBoss on Linux) to “link” the two.
