I'm hoping somebody with experience in the following can shed a little light on something. I have a customer that is looking to have a website designed, and makes use of an accounting package called "Accpac" for the back end (inventory control, etc).
Accpac has been quite unhelpful (iow, ignoring repeated requests for information wrt libraries for accessing their software from linux). Thankfully, it appears that Accpac's backend database is Pervasive SQL which has an ODBC driver available for linux/php. Here's where my question comes in. Having never used ODBC at all before, I'm a little confused on one point. I understand that ODBC is designed to give a semi-consistent interface to different DBMS's, but what is the difference between ODBC and unixODBC? Each of these appears to be options when compiling PHP. Thanks in advance folks. 8) -- "Ha ha - you may be right, but remember!
