hsncorrosion Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I want to start a fully open database, I would like to run it via telnet. I want it to require signup and login and then they can either read or input data into the system. How can I do this? Can I use SQL with this? Will it cost anything? and what are the security risks?

natural_orange Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Depending on the version of SQL you may be limited to a certain size. Your gonna have to code a registration page/system Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunex Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I'm sorry to tell you this but databases need formats and since you don't seem to know what you want to put into the database you don't know the format of the tables you want to have in the database. Even if you had a format in mind telnet is probably not the best way to do it. Databases are most use full when access to them can be automated, and telnet sucks at automation. XML RPC over HTTP would be better for automation. Danbooru/Sagubooru is set up as an image board, and has an open API that allows automated access to the images and the tags and comments associated with them. If you really wanted to be open ended you could just setup an FTP server with anonymous read and write access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 If you really wanted to be open ended you could just setup an FTP server with anonymous read and write access. Which, I might add, is a stunningly bad idea to do in practice. Particularly the write access bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QFE I was hosting a anon write ftp server on the default ports for an ARG I was hosting.... with in hours I found....something not good, DON'T DO IT, needless to say I had to do a quick script rewrite to supply passwords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsncorrosion Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 I only thought of using telnet because I for some reason like to telnet, I like the command prompt. so Im just trying to think of a reason to use it more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
