Does anyone know how I can get hold of an ODBC driver to let my rev app on
MacOS X access MS SQL Server databases on the network?
1.1.1 doesn't support ODBC on OS X. But once Rev 2.0 rolls around, I would get commercial ODBC drivers from OpenLink.
There are open-source drivers, but probably not compiled for OS X and you could spend weeks banging your head and trying to compile it.
OS X ships with ODBC Administrator.app , which seems entirely useless. It has no DSN configuration panels, and can't recognize any drivers, in my experience.
If you download the SDK or a driver package from openlinksw it will install
/Applications/Utilities/iODBC/iODBC Administrator.app
This app is the real thing, it has a detailed configuration panel for each DSN. The ODBC Administrator.app that ships with OS X seems to basically useless; one might as well write odbc.ini files by hand. BTW iODBC Administrator writes User DSNs to ~/Library/Preferences/ODBC.preference
If you have Microsoft Query installed, it seems to use it's own version of "iODBC Data Source Chooser". Not sure about that though.
