Hi Lorenzo,
do you use any SQL backend?
do you know JDBC?
Not yet, and also no experience yet with JDBC. I'm still in
the process of cleaning any DOS ties, and converting my app
to native multiplatform Harbour.
what about the backward compatibility?
Backward compatibility may handled by simply keeping
existing classes, and developing a std one next to them.
Same can be done for support functions.
The ideal would be to have a prg for every contrib/lib that make the
changes and that can test them.
Also if every contrib/lib would have a corresponding usrrdd "driver"
we'll get the best of the both worlds.
Just "free" ideas fell free to ignore them :)
I absolutely agree with these. Currently we have a
pretty uneven feature set for different dbs, and
RDD layers only in ADO.
We also have hbodbc, which _may_ be a base for a common
interface, or it could also be synced to the std one.
I'm saying may, because I'm not at all familiar with
ODBC, so it's difficult to judge how badly it is Microsoft
orientated or something stuck in the past. But it's
worth checking.
Brdgs,
Viktor
