Printing data from an external database via HTTP requests ?

Printing data from an external database via HTTP requests ? // Expert user has replied. Y Yanis Dalabiras 3 years 4 months ago 17 1 0 Hi, We are a service company that will need to print custom information for each customer order on a label. The customers will order on our website through a form, the datas contained in this form will be stored on a database. We might have many orders added to this database daily. My website developer offered to store those datas on an external database (Firebase) that will work with HTTP requests (ex: GetClientName). Will Zebra Designer 3 be able to send HTTP requests to get those informations and dispose them according to a template ? What coding is necessary ? If accessing those datas is impossible, which database should I use in order to automate the label filling ? Thank you for your help.

ZebraDesigner Professional 3 is a tool to design and print labels. It has the ability to connect directly to a database for dynamic data source. The supported database types are: Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Text File databases, ODBC data source. ZebraDesigner Professional 3 doesn't send HTTP requests to a database. It only connects directly to the database via ODBC. If your firebase database supports ODBC, you can connect ZebraDesigner to it. If it doesn't support ODBC, then ZebraDesigner Professional 3 might not be the right choice for you.
