The conclusion, that ODBC is slow because MySQL ODBC is slow, is interesting. Actually the protocol overhead is in general not very large (at least in SAP DB ODBC). Don't forget that we will support ODBC also in the future. And you can be sure that we have no interest to invest in something that isn't worth it. > Are there yet any more details on the native c++ that was > mentioned on the list some time ago?! No. During this year the new interface will probably be available. Greetings Thomas ---------------------------------------------- Dr. Thomas K�tter SAP DB, SAP Labs Berlin SAP DB is open source.
