Runtime and Solution Object Model question

Hello all,

Have couple of questions on standalone (run-time) solutions

  • Is it possible to have a standalone (run-time) solution connecting to its local database (run-time database) also connect to external vendor data sources?
  • Can we have a run-time solution create a database server connection dynamically? Example a user wants to connect to a third party sql data source through the solution interface. I was looking in Solution Object model but did not see any methods to set database server connections.

Regards
James

No, currently a runtime client can only connect to one server (a PostgreSQL one). However I think this could be implemented now (the one server restriction was due to Sybase) but would take some effort. So, if you need it you can open a case and explain what you want to achieve.
