not worth it. We have released the multi platform external, that we use to access a Oracle database, as open source. So that may be an option to you. As ODBC is designed by MS, I'd suggest thinking about JDBC instead. I don't know much of that, but I think it is better designed and documented

Updating... In educating myself about ODBC, I am becoming doubtful about this working with just Metacard sockets. I *think* what I have ascertained is that each ODBC database (Oracle, Sybase, etc) uses it's own proprietary network protocol which is all hidden within their ODBC drivers. What

ODBC?

2000-03-15 Thread Yennie
Hi all, Recently it was pondered whether Metacard could connect to ODBC databases via sockets, which would be a killer thing to have. I've done some hunting but I can't seem to find any worthwhile docs on ODBC that would give me some insight on this. Has anyone had any more luck than me? I'd

engineering problem. It's probably best to reserve this technique for the occasional tough debugging problem. Finding an ODBC wire-protocol spec has got to be the more efficient route to building an ODBC client... Regards, Scott nsrdr: recving a packet nsprecv: entry nsprecv: reading

I'd like to use Metacard as as Front-End and Analysis Tool for ODBC compliant databases. Has anyone else any experience of this ? Is there a suitable external ? If not is anyone interested in writing one ? (obviously for payment) Am I totally off track and should look at another solution
