Re: [libdbi-users] Lib DBI windows version
Hi Pabitra, I asked a question on this list in 2015 and there has been no activity since then. I didn't get an answer to my question. So I assumed that the project is pretty dead. There is support for prepared statements. So I ended up using APR DBD. The documentation is alright. Though I did find myself digging into the source to understand a few things. I haven't used it on Windows, but the whole point of the APR is cross platform usage. https://apr.apache.org/docs/apr-util/1.6/group___a_p_r___util___d_b_d.html Best wishes, Simon On December 28, 2018 4:28:42 PM UTC, Pabitra Dash via libdbi-users wrote: >Hello, >Good day.I have following queries. >-As libdbi provides standard C abstraction, Can I use it in Windows and >Linux platforms?-From where can I get DbiXX detail documentation and >source code of the same? >Regards,Pabitra ___ libdbi-users mailing list libdbi-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libdbi-users

Not much use I know, but I can confirm it doesn't support prepared statement currently. You might consider APR, i.e. http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr/2.0/group___a_p_r___util___d_b_d.html That looks like an awful lot of nice C code. Thank you for the tip! Looking at projects that use APR, many seem to include the entire thing in their code base. I'm guessing that one of the drawbacks is that APR comes with a lot of baggage so to speak. Have you used both libdbi and the database bits of APR? Is there any advantage to using libdbi compared to APR?

[libdbi-users] prepared statements
Hi all, I'm new to using libdbi and C in general. I am wondering why libdbi has no support for prepared statements. Is it that because the way libdbi is written, a prepared statement would not provide any benefit? Or is it just lacking that feature? If it's just lacking the feature, are there plans to add that? If the application I'm writing can benefit from prepared statements, I would like to eventually either add that feature to libdbi or I may have to use something else in the future. I haven't taken a deep look at the libdbi code. So any insight is appreciated. Kind regards, Simon PS If I should have sent this to the development list, please let me know. Thanks. -- ___ libdbi-users mailing list libdbi-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libdbi-users

Is there any advantage to using libdbi compared to APR? I've either used one or the other. I expect you can use both but can't see any reason to. apr is more frequently updated, has many other functions (e.g. a complete memory pool manager), and works on a wider range of platforms I believe (including Windows). libdbi is simpler than APR to get used to, and has a smaller memory footprint. You should also compare the choice of backends if you care about that. OK, that's very helpful. Thank you. I'm not sure I want to change my code around too much until I have more tests written. It's good to know there is another usable option. -- ___ libdbi-users mailing list libdbi-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libdbi-users
