Connecting to a Website Database

JangoMail can connect in real-time to an Internet web site database if the database is connected with the web server. JangoMail supports the following web/database server platforms:

Active Server Page web site / Any ODBC compliant database
Active Server Page web site / Microsoft SQL Server Database
Active Server Page web site / Microsoft Access Database
ASP.Net web site / Microsoft SQL Server Database
PHP web site / MySQL Database
JSP / Custom Web Platform / Any Database (based on custom script)

This option is most useful when the database and web site is hosted at an external hosting company, separate from the network that the JangoMail user is on. The JangoMail server communicates with the web server via a special web server file created by JangoMail, and then the web server communicates with the web site's database server, upon which the web server returns the relevant data to JangoMail.
