I can see two fundamental problems here -
- how fast is ODBC connectivity in comparison to native one?
- we don't know /Command pricing yet, but sadly - I still think shell
access and library calls at least belong to /Core, or at least should be
free. ODBC should cost some little money and native drivers (e.g. Oracle,
DB2 components) could cost much higher. Let's see what pricing policy will
RTcome with, but being it one way or another - your PHP "native" connection
to MySQL will be always free ...
If REBOL/Command is priced more than 50-100 in the tool level, It will be
time to try to write socket connection protocols for /Core (if MySQL,
PostGresSQL etc. allow this) or simply stay with PHP for e.g., as I can't
imagine I tell my boss we should pay for something, just because I like it,
if all I need is ASP, PHP level thingy ...
