I believe that witango uses a standard implementation of JDBC, I don't think WO does. I remember PrimeBase having to rework there JDBC driver to work with WO 5, and it was a pain. Anyway, I am not sure why openbase wouldn't work with witango, but WithEnt is just rolling out this feature, maybe they will be able to accomodate it.

Hi Robert,
Sorry that i cannot follow your thoughts. OpenBase is a database, not an
application server. PrimeBase does have the PrimeBase applicationserver, nor
does OpenBase.
The problem i do have is that neither ODBC or JDBC works completely with
witango. Not a problem with Apples WebObjects.

One of the bummers about openbase, is that they want you to use there app server, and they aren't going to modify there product/drivers to help you out, unless it affects there app server.
I have an excellent relationship with primebase, and am even doing some
development work for them. The end result is that they make
modifications to there ODBC/JDBC drivers, and recently even their
server code to accomodate issues I have found, and some of them were
only related to witango. They are currently working on a maintenance
release, and they give me the prerelease of there ODBC/JDBC drivers to
fully test them before they go to production.
Because of my involvement with Witango and PrimeBase, I think this makes primebase an excellent choice for the witango community. As long as I am around, it will be a top performer for the platform.
I have spent the last couple of months with primebase tuning blob performance between witango/odbc/primebase. I would put it up against anything. I will demonstrate at the conference.

Lucky one!
I try to work with 5.0.9. Studio is wonderful up and working, but some
datatypes (varchar for example) crash the driver.
But i do have to use OpenBase, not primebase. (I am not sure with
frontbase, will give it a try next week).
I am triying to connect to openBase since November 2002! (iODBC). With
some workarounds (date, time, and limitations - no international
characters) i can work with that version, which showed me the fastness
of witango vs. Tango 2000 on OS 9. (But there it just works- my good
old and slow butler :-)!)

I have a working JDBC database, PrimeBase has had working JDBC drivers for some time.
I just dl'd the latest Witango studio for OS X, 5.0.9, which will be out shortly according to phil.
With 5.0.7, I could load the primebase driver, but when I expanded the tables, I did not get the fields, with 5.0.9, it worked.

I would like a working JDBC-database( to OpenBase,Frontbase) connection before anything else. I'm running out of time now.

p.s. might be i should post this to beta, but i do not get any answers anywhere how far development is.

No need to wait for the compiler, soon is now. I think the compiler
is going to be an exciting thing. But I am pretty sure that it will
be no match to what you could manually do in a bean, optimizing it
your self. Hopefully, the compiler will spit out the .java file as
well as the .jar, so that one could open the .java file and tweak
it if they so desired. That way the compiler will build your
structure and save you time, but you could tweak the algorithm.
Also, one of the thing that the Witango community lacks right now
is source for useful components to get you going. When I program in
RB, I can go to several sites and do searches and can find someone
elses work in the same area to get my moving in the right
direction. For instance, when I built the WitangoHelper, I found
someone who wrote a CGI shell for RB a few years ago that was
designed to work as an apple CGI with apple events. I stripped out
all of the appleevent stuff, but kept all of the work he did for
parsing arguments and decoding URLEncoded text.
Do you know how many custom JAVA classes are out there? IMHO, this
is what we have been waiting for. Time to go *ssholes and elbows if
you ask me. ;-). (For the kangaroo set, that means get deep intoit.)

But soon, with the Witango Java Compiler, we'll be able to cast off the extra wheels and compete with our skill set at a substantially higher developer market level.
