Bzzt. ODBC was what Microsoft decided to rename SQL-CLI to when they republished the standard as if it were their own.
Well, that's good to know.
And the notion that .NET was "invented" by Microsoft strikes me as indicating a whole lot more "inventiveness" than they are traditionally noted for. I haven't yet perceived anything about .NET that is sufficiently novel such that the term "invented" would seem applicable.
It's pretty much another run-of-the-mill P-Code reimplementation,
looking more like a rehash of J2EE than anything else.
Well, that why put invented into "", because .NET offers nearly nothing that other languages don't have yet.
Oh, it has APIs for all sorts of Windows-only services. _Sure_, that's inventive...
Well, that only a proof, that Microsoft's .NET is not designed to be platform independant. Of course it is designed to run on Windows only, would it be a Microsoft product otherwise?
That why i still wait for Mono to offer a usable SDK.
Well, you're using ODBC, and i guess Stephen can't use ODBC any more since it is poorly supported by .NET ...
Then maybe he shouldn't use .NET?
What an arrogant position.
It hardly seems an arrogant position to suggest that if .NET is deficient in vital ways, it may make a poor choice as an application platform.
Well, .NET itself is not deficient. Is is still the deficient support for SAPDB we're talking about?
