CSV File
The syntax required and necessary file formats have not yet been identified from the legacy documentation. Can you help?
Specification
| Driver Name | csv |
|---|---|
| Alternate Name | proxy |
| Data Provider | csv |
| Status | Inactive1) |
| Windows | Yes |
| Unix | Yes |
| ADOdb V5 | Yes |
| ADOdb V6 | Yes |
Description
The csv driver allows a CSV file to be read across an http connection and treated like a database table.
- The only parameter passed in the connect statement is the url of the file
- https connections are currently not supported.
- In order to write back data, the file/directory must be writable by the Identity that the web server runs as. This may be a problem in IIS, creating an AppPool specifically for the process may provide a possible solution.
- Some methods are not supported
Usage
$db = newAdoConnection('csv'); $db->connect('http://127.0.0.1/files/file.csv');

This driver is not actively supported or enhanced by ADOdb project members, but you can provide fixes and enhancements if you have the expertise
