Thread: src/interfaces/cli

Does anyone mind if I remove src/interfaces/cli?  It's clearly outdated
and useless.

Looking at the CVS history, it seems that Lockhart had an idea of
building a CLI-spec-compatible interface on top of ecpg, but never
went further than an initial commit.

If ecpg itself now satisfies that spec then there's certainly no
need for src/interfaces/cli ...

Agreed.  I have been using ecpg a little and it is really great.

CLI is ODBC, not ecpg.
