I am really trying to figure out the best way to connect to a MySql database and run query's. I am trying to set up the REST service, but I just cannot get it set up properly. I have tried to look for documentation on how to set this up, but I just cannot find any useful information. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Hello Matt!
You can connect to any data source available on the Internet as long as it’s exposed via REST API.
We recommend to use RestXpress http://www.exadel.com/restxpress
So does that mean that in order to use appery.io with an external mySQL database, we need to license and install RestXpress @ $2,500/year ?
That's one option..you do get 30 days trial. You can also use any other tool that will expose your database via REST APIs.
Im using Apperys rest services to connect to php scripts on my server. You cant connect directly with mysql.
I wont run JS on my server so php is a better option.
Works perfectly!!
Hi Corinne,
Can you give me a small example how to use Appery's Rest Service to connect to php?
I have a mysql database on our own server with a login system.
I want to build an app to connect to this database (a website version is already running for a few years).
As I understand you connect from Appery to a php file in which you goiive all the database query's. How to get this results to appery?
Any help would be appriciated!
Kind regards,
Arie
