After a couple of false starts (nothing to do with your code, but weird
incompatibilities between the low-level PG driver supplied with the
latest unixODBC and the older Postgress I was trying to test with), I
found your module to work quite nicely. Thanks.
I certainly haven't done what I would call comprehensive testing yet,
but I'll be doing more, and keep you posted. I also bit the bullet and
built it with libiodbc (now I remember why I so hated trying to maintain
both of them on the same system when I did it a few years ago!), and
that works fine also,though the same non-comprehensive caveat applies. I
think your module would make a good starting point for a new standard
ODBC module - whether it's the One True ODBC Module (TM) or a template
for multiple per-driver-manager modules.
Same as you, I found that nsodbc wouldn't even compile, but since I had
your code, it wasn't even worth looking at what the errors were. If it
still works on Windows, we could use it as a reference point later for
conditional code if someone wants to do the OTOM.
I was also thinking of doing an ODBC3 version of nsunixodbc. All the
modules I've seen floating around seem to be ODBC2. Have I missed one?
I see that nsunuxodbc has gotten added to the list - has it got any
changes from the one I downloaded last Tuesday?
Cheers,
Bob
