Subject: ODBC driver for Applixware and Unix
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 04:34:28 +0000
Message-ID: <35AED454.4F518534@alumni.caltech.edu> (raw)
The next release of Applixware for Linux will have database support (not
guaranteed I suppose, but it is in the beta). At the moment, the release
will have an ODBC driver for MySQL. Applix is willing to try to ship an
ODBC interface for PostgreSQL. What would it take to do it? I suspect we
would need to get things together fairly quickly to have a shot at
getting into the release.
This is a native Unix-hosted ODBC interface, not the WIN32 driver,
though I don't know what would be different about the source code. I
also am not certain if we would be allowed to hack the MySQL driver
(don't know the copyright situation on it).
Speak up if you are interested in helping, have information which could
help get us going, or can suggest someone else who might be a resource.
I have a few more details on the MySQL ODBC driver at my office if that
would be helpful.
- Tom
