horseatingweeds Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 OK PhP Freaks I’m looking for any guidance or tid-bits of info. My brother is a physician and he would like a system for accessing medications and their side effects. He has found no current program offering a system that he sees as being extremely helpful. A popular software is e-MDs which has a data base. There is also a very poplar software called Epocrates which is open source for the basic program. This also has a good data base. I’m looking for the best way to either access a good data base with a new program or find a open source code I can work with. I hope this is reasonably clear….

genericnumber1 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 When you say you're looking for a database do you mean a medical database or just a database application for hosting your own... if it's the latter I can suggest mysql... if it's the former I have no idea.

boo_lolly Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 as genericnumber1 mentioned, if your brother has access to a database with medical information already in it, then i'd design a CMS to integrate with this existing database. this will allow your brother to view/add/edit/remove information with this database of medical information. if not, i'd still build a CMS with the same exact way, except your brother would have to enter all the medical data himself into an empty database.

horseatingweeds Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 From e-MDs I have a data base in SQL. I unzipped the file and it is a Microsoft SQL 2000 backup. I’m currently trying to figure out how to convert it and look at it to make sure it has the info I need. Is this something I can use MySQL on an Apache server? Or do I need MS server 2000?

Glyde Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Well, you can create a MSSQL DB with that backup file, and then use one of the list programs MSSQL2MYSQL Microsoft DTS SQLyog Access Export Text Import/Export To migrate to MySQL for a more widely supported and better-suited for web apps DB.
