Dan, I don't feel very strong about this so I'll leave it up to you guys but there are almost no code changes so I don't quite understand why it'd be so terrible for the extension. Andi At 06:46 PM 1/12/2005 -0800, Dan Kalowsky wrote: On Jan 12, 2005, at 6:03 PM, Wez Furlong wrote: Regardless of

Please don't make broad statements that iODBC and unixODBC are not fast. They are plenty fast. They run slow in PHP because we use a dynamic cursor, no other reason can/should be attributed to their performance in PHP. Our continued use of the dynamic cursor is mostly for BC and my unwillingn

I've educated myself by reading the odbcsdk.h file; ODBCRouter doesn't implement ODBC 3.0 APIs, so it can't be used directly for the PDO ODBC extension, but it should be loadable via unixODBC or iODBC. Regardless, this patch looks safe to commit to our CVS for ext/odbc; it's a few lines of configu

I think the question is whether we need a patch, or if ODBCRouter is a compatible ODBC driver that can be loaded via unixODBC or iODBC, requiring no patch and possibly taking advantage of optimizations that might be present in those ODBC managers (can't think of any off the top of my head). Of cou

I have no idea about ODBCRouter but for what it's worth unixODBC and iODBC aren't the best and most performant solutions (at least as far as I know). So if this is an equivalent, I see no reason not to support it. Andi At 11:20 AM 1/11/2005 -0800, Dan Kalowsky wrote: I'm not sure I'm sold on thi

I'm not sure I'm sold on this whole concept yet. I don't see how this differs from the use of an ODBC Driver or an ODBC Driver Manager. Admittedly I haven't investigated it very throughly yet, but the Macintosh already has unixODBC and iODBC working with it (your example not mine). Both allow

Just out of curiosity, how does ODBC Router differ from the other ODBC bridge solutions out there? Also, you should probably also provide PHP 5 diffs. Andi At 09:02 AM 1/7/2005 -0800, AugSoft wrote: Hi, + This patch enables PHP's ODBC extension on certain non-Windows platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, e
