I am curious what folks are doing with nsodbc?
I have been playing around with it on Linux, (in conjunction with the
OpenRDA and Easysoft (unixODBC) Unix ODBC client drivers) connecting to SQL
Server 7 and it works, sort of.
There appears to be a hardcoded limit such that fields cannot be more than
8K in length. That's 8K, not 8G. The field is easily increased raising
the size of a stack allocated buffer, but clearly, nsodbc lacks a basic
strategy on how to deal with even moderately sized fields (much less LOBs
in general.)
So is anyone using this in production? What limitations have you found,
and how have you worked around them?
Also, if you can recommend anyone who had written an nsodbc like driver
before (to create a driver layer into some app connecting to ODBC), please
let me know, I have a client that would be interested in hiring them.
Thanks,
Jerry Asher
