Thanks a lot Richard, Mark, Lynn, Randall, Peter, Luis for help!
This is a tool for quite specific environmental data analysis and mapping. It reads data from nearly any RDBMS sufficiently supported by Revolution or ODBC - end user does not feel any difference - his only care is to choose his preferred database file or server.
Scientists usually have access and share data stored in different databases or file formats and every person may have different preferences. Some prefer PostgreSQL over MySQL, others like MySQL more, some use MS Access or Oracle, for yet others Sqlite satisfies all their needs. So I intended to enable them to copy databases directly from, say, Access to MySQL, or, maybe, SQLite to Valentina and vice versa if they wish to do so, with just a couple of mouse clicks. Then I remembered some time ago having read this strangely restrictive license term in EULA of one database vendor (I still have to remember which one..) and this raised some doubts on possible consequences of this feature.
At this moment I think I would better not risk and will activate the feature for open source databases only and databases that I am 100% sure do not restrict data export/import to other competing RDBMS in their EULAs.
By the way (well, this question should start another thread) does anyone know if there exists a Revolution library to access Firebird RDBMS?
Thanks again and all the best! Viktoras _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
