Thread: LinuxODBC
Hi, The LinuxODBC Project wants to certify a postgreSQL ODBC driver for Linux. We would also like to incorporate the driver into the LinuxODBC infrastructure. LinuxODBC comprises many components. Its starts with the iODBC driver manager. We are making contributions to enhance that product (it is now LGPL). We have added our own odbcinst library and command tool (also LGPL and GPL). Furthermore we have created GUI clients for Linux such as; ODBCConfig and a DataManager (both use ODBC and ODBCINST calls). Finally we have started a certification program. We are already working on MiniSQL and MySQL. We have received requests for PostgreSQL to be among the first wave of drivers. All fo this is OpenSource (ie GPL or LGPL). see http://www.codebydesign.com/LinuxODBC QUESTIONS - Has an ODBC driver been ported to Linux (I found Win32 source but no Linux and one bad link to Sergey)? - Can LinuxODBC coordinate with those who harbour the Win32 version of the ODBC driver to create a portable driver (in the same thinking as iODBC)? We would be willing to do most of the work as long as we know that at the end of the day we are dealing with one source code for this ODBC driver (that way new features will arrive on both platforms at the same time and with minimum of work)?
