Sorry, I should have looked as SQLCipher first, before I said anything. SQLCipher is a completely different library than the SQLite library. It has different licensing that makes it not attractive to me for ooRexx. You will not be able to use SQLCipher with the approach you are taking. You will have to replace the SQLite source code completely with the SQLCipher source code in the source tree. Unless the SQLCiper source code files are a one-to-one relation with the SQLite source files, you will then need to change the make file to build and link the correct object files. Most of the Rexx bindings in the ooSQLite class file will probably work, but you might have to change a few things. You wouldn't have to, but you should change the name of the DLL produced by your build to something different. And change the .cls file to load that DLL. Otherwise you may end up using the wrong DLL. You end up with a different database engine and your own native extension. Certainly there is no reason why you can't do that based on the current work for ooSQLite. But, I'm not sure it is something someone unfamiliar with C / C++ will have an easy time doing. RexxSQL doesn't give you access to SQLCipher does it? -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got visibility?
