Access to Salesforce DB through PhPMyadmin
Hello
Here's what I want to do:
a) I want to write a custom program that will populate our Salesforce DB with some values. Assuming Salesforce uses MySQL, I wish to:
- Connect to the MySQL server using my Perl program
- Write some values
- Exit
Is that possible with Salesforce? I intend to use DBD:MySQL in Perl.
Thanks,
Vince

Thanks for the response.
Actually, we are on the Team Edition, so I don't think we have access to those APIs. Is there any other way to accomplish this? I would need to know if I can get access to our Salesforce database / MySQL server (if that's what is being used) using DBD::MySQL in Perl.
Thanks again, Rick.
Cheers

Vince -
Check under Data Management on Setup for your Edition. You should have a choice relating to importing custom objects.
This choice can only import from .csv files, so you will have to export from MySQL as a first step.
Hope this helps.
