Hi,
it's possible to access notes/domino-db's by more than the following ways, but those are mostly the easiest:
1.) ODBC-Driver
2.) JDBC-Driver
3.) HTTP-Get/Posts
4.) DIIOP...
Depending on your OS, you can create a ODBC/JDBC-Connection to a domino server and access databases as you access mysql.
Domino can also be accessed by http-requests, e.g. an agent which is printing his outstream to your requesting http-request.
E.g. http://www.dominoserver.xxx/db.nsf/gimme?OpenAgent&ID=121&more=...
And your domino-agent will respond as you want...
( By the way, it's not the bettest solution and can affect server performance... depending on your programming.)
Another way is to your access domino server by CORBA.
Domino has a DIIOP-Task, which enables you to write Java-Agents which can access your domino server.
( requires more programming skills)
Last, but not least, there is a C\C++ - API for Notes/Domino.
There you can write your fast and reliable code in C or C++ and access domino and have full control over your application flow.
JDBC and ODBC-Driver, C\C++ - API etc. can be found at:
