George, What might be an idea is to post some source code so people with a more intimate knowledge of *nix and SQL can provide some suggestions (psuedo code). What I know about *nix can be written on the back of a very small postage stamp, I do know a little more about SQL but not much.
My approach for connection to different database engines would be to have a registry flag that, if not present would invoke a routine to specify a database file name, location and type and then once a successful connection has been established to write the appropriate value into the registry for use then on.... but does *nix have a registry equivalent or is it done by "ini" files. It might be easier to create an object(s) that sits between the FG Navaid table and the application to make it look like a series of related flat tables. This of course begs the question; does *nix have a windows environment emulator? If so this gives another option to have a "Jet" connection for Windows users and a generic SQL connection for *nix users. This could use the OS ID to switch between the two....(or 3 if I include OS/2 support ;->) Dene -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
