I'm interested in this too. I have some IDL -> Database -> Web
applications in mind, so I started to learn PHP and MySQL, which are
both pretty easy to use (and free!) Plus, they have very nice (also
free) web-based administration programs out there. The IDL DataMiner
(~$500 US) claims support for SQL and ODBC. Without too much
investigation, it seems to me that the core SQL grammar and MySQL
grammar are similar if not identical. I haven't tested the overlap of
the database-connection methods between the two, but they must be
somewhat similar.

In my opinion, it would be great if IDL DataMiner would support MySQL
explicitly (how hard could it be for them to do this?). Failing that,
it may be possible to develop some PHP code from the command line to
take SQL/MySQL queries generated within IDL and return results
somehow.

Any takers?
