Hi Stephen I am currently working on a .NET data provider for SapDB. I am the author of the ByteFX data provider for MySql (http://www.bytefx.com). I also have one ( at a lower level of functionality ) for PostgreSQL. I spoke at the last MySql Developers conference on using MySql with .NET and hope to be invited to do the same at next year's event.
My questions related to this provider are: 1. Is the $5000 incentive still available? 2. If so, how would I claim it and what would licensing and ownership of the code look like in that case? 3. What does support look like for SAPdb 7.4 and earlier in light of the relationship with MySql? What I really want to know is will the wire protocol for communicating with Sapdb change as a result of work with MySql? I don't want to invest a good deal of time implementing a protocol that is getting thrown away. 4. What versions of the database would you want the provider to support? Would 7.3 and earlier suffice? 5. What docs are available to understand the protocol? If the the db running on Linux and have vtrace working. Also, I have the following url: http://sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi/NetworkProtocol I have looked at the sources a bit but could not really make good progress understanding the flow. I have been making ok progress with the protocol specs.
