John,
Is there a reason you want to use ODBC rather than JDBC? That is extremely easy to set up, and drivers can be had for most DB engines pretty readily (and for free to boot). I don't have any speed comparisons, but I haven't heard a lot of complaints about it either.

Hi, I have looked extensively over the archive, and also tracked the
conversations about this topic (including the disagreements over what
works!), and also looked in the documentation, both the installation
guide for the 5.5 studio, (feb 2004 - where there is a brief paragraph)
and the server 5.x install (aug 2002). Is there anyplace with a clear,
functional, step by step guide for getting the studio and server working
on OS X. I realize that with each successive release of the OS, and the
moving target of Apple's support for iODBC, and the various industry
efforts, that keeping something like this up to date is difficult. But
I did have all the pieces working (using an old product from The Kompany
that was an implementation of unixODBC), but since Panther I more or
less just gave up, hoping that with the release of 5.5 studio there
would be a clear installation and troubeshooting guide. I don't relish
spending another 8-10 hours getting every thing working again by trial
and error.
I also wonder if there is anything in the works that implements something like the PHP - MySQL calls, or the FX PHP class that works with the Filemaker XML import/export API's.
Or should I just go blast Apple for not providing a solid database architecture on OSX? Windows is sooooo much easier in this area, and I am a MAC zealot from way back.
End of rant.
Sorry.

I have installed the trial version of the new dev studio, but I still don't see any documentation for Beans. I know how to build them, and use them in my project, and deploy, that is not the issue. The issue is that I have read in old pervasive docs, that there are built in classes that help with a cleaner interface to and from the bean. Like passing a witango array to the bean, rather than passing some type of string, or xml to be parsed by the bean.
Is there any documentation anywhere for this? I thought this was going to be supplied with 5.5. I may be missing something, so if anyone knows, please inform me.
