Hi Klass, Good to hear from someone other than the regulars. ooSQLite is a very database specific package, rather than a general purpose SQL package. So, there would not be a way to change the connection to DB2, or MySQL, etc.. In the incubator we have a general purpose SQL package: orxsql I think you could use that to connect to DB2. One idea I have for the future would be to create several database specific ooRexx packages. Then create a package, say RexxDatabase, where you could specify which database specific package the RexxDatabase object would use. But, I don't know if I'd ever get to that in my life time. Then Jon could use RexxDatabase with the ooMySql backend I could use RexxDatabase with the ooSQLite backend, and you could use RexxDatabase with the ooDB2 backend One reason I started a SQLite specific package is that the database engine itself is easily embedded in the ooRexx package. This gives the ooRexx programmer a convenient package to use with a light-weight database engine that doesn't need anything else. It doesn't need MySQL or DB2 to be installed, or configured, or administered on the system. If the ooSQLite package gets included in the ooRexx distribution then an application written that uses ooSQLite will run on any system where the user of the application has ooRexx installed. And the user will not have to install anything else. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
