Doesn't sound too difficult. Have you started it at all and run into any particular troubles, or is this more of a generic informational request? In an app I'm working on, I created a class to handle all of the db functions, in my case so that I could create an array of this class for multiple databases, but you could easily use the same sort of methodology, and in your methods have it check for the preference switch then run the routines based on that switch. At any particular point your code could call objectInstance.getTableNames(dbname as string), then the interior space of that method could check the value of, say, PreferredDB and then decide between any number of routines, depending on how that db works.

Good centralization of functions makes for easier maintenance, and is just plain fun.

Hi All.

Want to setup a program that can access multiple types of databases.
But not simultaneously.

For example, if the user in preferences has setup mySQL, then mySQL
will connect and be accessible globally. Same thing with postgres, and
realsqldb.
