  • InterBase 6-ODBC-Treiber als OPEN SOURCE

    Unter der URL http://www.ibphoenix.com/ibp_60_odbc.html steht das Setup-Programm sowie der Sourcecode eines InterBase-ODBC-Treibers zur Verfügung.

    IBPhoenix ODBC Driver<br>
    ===================== <br>

    1/ Background<br>
    2/ Installation<br>
    3/ Known Issues<br>
    4/ Building the source<br>

    Background<br>
    ----------<br>
    This driver was originally developed to work with ChiliSoft ASP on a
    Cobalt RaQ4. It was written to support ODBC level 3.5. For this reason
    there have always been some issues with using it against 3rd party
    tools that expect conformity to earlier ODBC levels.

    Some work has been done to backfill this functionality, but much is
    still needed. For this reason it is recommended that the driver
    currently be used in circumstances where you have full programmatic
    control.

    Installation<br>
    ---------------<br>

    o Run Setup to install the driver

    o The error 'Config Install failed with 0' may appear if the driver
    has previously been installed. Ignore this. It will be followed by
    a 'DllRegisterServer ... succeeded' message.

    o Go into Control Panel | ODBC Admin and set
    up system or user dsn's as required.

    Known Issues<br>
    ---------------<br>

    o File DSNs do not work.

    o It is known that the driver does not work at all
    with the following third-party tools:

    - Access<br>
    - Excel<br>
    - Lotus 1-2-3<br>

    This is due to metadata querying issues.

    o It does work well, or reasonably well, with

    - Borland Database Engine (and derivative products).<br>
    - PowerDesigner 6.n<br>

    o Some testing has been done with ADO. The configuration needs
    to be played with a little, but a connection can be made.
    Result sets are read-only (ie they cannot be modified via
    data aware controls.) Updates need to be applied by executing
    specific SQL statements.

    o PHP4 access currently fails. This is another issue we are
    looking at.

    If something is not mentioned in the above list then it probably
    means we haven't had a chance to test it. If you have feedback
    (good or bad) please email us on:

    Building the source<br>
    -------------------<br>

    The latest source is available from the Firebird project on SourceForge.
    Visit http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=9028 for more information.
    The module is called 'OdbcJdbc'. (Don't type the quotes.)

    There is an MSVC workspace for building on Win32. Set OdbcJdbcSetup as the
    active project and build as required.

    Under Linux there are two make files to do the build:

    OdbcJdbc\makefile<br>
    OdbcJdbc\IscDbc\makefile<br>

    Type 'make makefile' in each directory.
