I've never used VistaDB. I wasn't able to get it to work. I installed their database suite (GUI database manager, documentation, etc.) to a test computer then transfered the provider files and .lic file to my development machine. I wasn't able to get IBatisNet to open the .vdb file. I kept getting an exception about the connection string being improperly formatted. I think the problem may have been that the .lic file I was using was generated on another machine and it became invalid when I copied it to my development machine. I did not try using the VistaDB with normal ADO.Net code (i.e. vistaConnection.Open() ). I don't think VistaDB compatibility is of great importance.
I came across it from Paul Wilson's ORMapper home page: http://www.ormapper.net/ # Supports MS Sql, Access, Oracle, as well as generic OleDb and Odbc. # Define your own CustomProvider for any Database without Recompile: # MySql, PostgreSql, Sqlite, Firebird, DB2, VistaDB, SqlCe, Sybase. This should keep us busy for a while: http://www.sqlsummit.com/DataProv.htm --- "Gilles Bayon (JIRA)" <ibatis-dev@incubator.apache.org> wrote: > [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-70?page=all ] > > Gilles Bayon closed IBATISNET-70: > --------------------------------- > > Resolution: Fixed > Fix Version: DataMapper 1.2 > > Fix in SVN > > Ron,have you well played with http://www.vistadb.net/ ?
