Hi,
let me share same basic info/ideas about TMSSQLConnection :
1. As Marcos wrote it is descendant of sql-db TSQLConnection class and
provides native connector for MS SQL Servers and Sybase servers
2. is depends/requires on FreeTDS open-source cross platform DB-Library
(alternatively can be used also Microsoft db-library ntwdblib.dll)
3. all what is needed are 2-3 files:
- mssqlconn.pp (implementation of TMSSQLConnection and TSybaseConnection)
- dblib.pp (interface to FreeTDS db-library ABI dblib.dll on Windows,
libsybdb.so on *NIX)
- readme.txt (some info for users/developers)
4. according to market share of MS SQL Server and Sybase there may be
many users, which will welcome alternative to TODBCConnection
5. there is on http://www.freepascal.org/future.var in "Improve the
database support" > "Drivers (descendants) for more database types" so I
understand it as FPC is open for new stuff ;-)
6. if there is any problem please let us know. If you decide to include
it into fcl-db then you can place files for example into src/sqldb/mssql
folder ;-)
TIA
-Laco.
Hi,
As you can see here http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=17303 the
developer known to LacaK developed a new connector for MSSQLServer,
descendant of TSQLConnection class, and sent the beta code in
2010-08-30.
Some developers discussed the new code here:
http://lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,15135.msg80922.html#msg80922
I'm already using this connector in production without problems.
To FPC core team:
Could you take a look in that component and think about included this
code in SVN to new developers use too, please?
Thanks,
Marcos Douglas
PS: this message was posted in lazarus-list and fpc-pascal, but I was
wrong because nobody answer me about YES or NOT. So, I think this is
the right list, don't?
