Well, I suppose the "extra effort" also depends on the person doing the port. :-( > > What kind of memory requirements does the kernel have? > > > It uses shared memory for communication and for monitoring console > activities. The amount of memory strongly depends on parameters for > CACHESIZE. Are you using mmap or work-alike, so that different processes (not threads) access the same memory block? Is the kernel a monolithic process with multiple threads, or multiple processes? I ask this from the Win32 perspective, rather than the Linux perspective. > All new stuff is C++ coding. > Exceptions yes (unfortunatly since they got a bad reputation due to lots of > compiler features...)

Metrewerks is the compiler of choice for NetWare right now, I'll have to check and see how well it can handle this on NetWare. The NetWare OS has limitations beyond those of the compiler. > > For the C client library.

Are you saying that the only client access on Win32 is via ODBC, and that there isn't a native DLL available that works "at a lower layer"? I'm thinking specifically of Python and Zope, where we'd like to process multiple simultaneous database requests (not serialized) on both Windows and Linux. Also, the client would have to work on NetWare too, so probably the Linux client library could be ported. > By the way, Potsdam bei Berlin,Germany is not that fare away ;-) Ah, our "sister city". ;-) Brad Clements, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com (315)268-9812 Fax netmeeting: ils://ils.murkworks.com AOL-IM: BKClements _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
