Yes, iODBC is. There are also proprietary ODBC implementations. At work, we have to deal with Progress databases. Their ODBC library, presumably due to being a rather ancient shared library, doesn't work with unixODBC -- but they ship their entire own ODBC framework, Merant ODBC. HDBC compiles against it (though must be modified to not support wide characters, which Merant ODBC doesn't support). -- John _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
