Database interfacing

I have some data coming on serial port of PC I want to store this data in a database and then wants to retrieve the data from database through internet

Any suggestions how can i do this?
What programming languages to use?
 

Database interfacing

well, u have 2 parts to this problem,
1) use c/c++ to interface ur serial port and after u get the data, u can use database api(ODBC) to store the data on the database.
2) if u want to access this data via the internet, then write an asp page and put this on the server, the client will connect to the asp page and the asp page will fetch the data from the database and send it to the client.

You can do this very easily with vb6 in just a few lines of code. Just monitor the serial port and when data arrives ... save it in access database using oledb.

Another solution which seems to be even easier to do is:
1- Monitor the serial port
2- Grab data and save in Excel
3- Send your Excel

I use python when doing things like this. I haven't tried b6.. is it easy to learn?
 

I have no idea about python, but VB is really nice and easy to learn while you compare it with C/C++/C# or Delphi family.

Another good way to access data via the net is to use a webserver. If you using python, you could use CherryPy and read the data via database or a text file. There are a lot of examples in the internet in how to set this up.
