st: New user question: integrating web page, Stata, and MySQL

["Bednar, Paul" <PBednar@unch.unc.edu>]

Dear Statalisters,

I'm a new Intercooled Stata 9.2 Windows user trying to integrate a web
page, Stata, and MySQL.

Here's the situation.  Using a web page, a user selects a date range to
view actual, budget, and forecast data.  The actual and budget data is
stored in a MySQL database and the forecast data is calculated in Stata
using regression.  

Is it possible for Stata to receive a request from either MySQL or the
web page, run the regression and send the output to a MySQL table so the
forecast data can be provided to the user?

Perhaps I've misunderstood Stata's Data Management Manual, but odbc
seems to go from Stata to MySQL, not the other direction.

Your insightful feedback is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Paul
