<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>1) Mac OS 10.2 ships with the iODBC Driver
Manager pre-installed, and <BR>>PostgreSQL has a configure option
--with-iodbc to build ODBC driver for <BR>>iODBC. Rev has ODBC connectivity.
Methinks this might work! Am I <BR>>wasting my time or should I give it a
try?<BR>iODBC will be supported in 2.0. It won't work with 1.1, you
actually have to link to iODBC at compile time.</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><BR>>2) What is the DB support looking like in Rev 2.0? Is the
PostgreSQL <BR>>driver going to be Pro-version only?</DIV>
<DIV>Oracle (all platforms), MySQL (all), Valentina (osx, ppc, windows), iODBC
(all), DataDirect ODBC (ppc), Postgresql client (windows, osx, unix). It
will also be modified in that it will load db driver files (ie. dbmysql-one
file for each type of database), to avoid bringing down Revolution in the
event that a databases client libraries cannot be found. Another advantage
is that it will give C++ programmer the chance to easily extend revdb's database
capabilities by authoring one of these database driver files. I'll leave Kevin
to comment on licensing issues.</DIV>
