DataBaseLayer is the future of wxODBC?
Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 10:12 am
Hi people,
I discovered that wxWidgets is dropping the wxODBC. I read the reasons here in the forum about this decision and I really think that it was a good decision, to keep concentrate only in the widgets.
But, my question now is what I can use in instead? In my project, the user will define which DB wants to use, what, in this case, is not easy to get just one wrapper and use it.
I was looking about the DataBaseLayer and it's appear that the latest version is 1.8 launched this year(I read this here in the forum). So, Can I imagine that the 1.8 version will be compatible with the wxWidgets 2.9?
And in the site, is saying that supports ODBC backends, what this means? In the wikipedia, is wrote that the ODBC supports some DataBases:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Database_Connectivity
So, just to clarify more the questions:
* DataBaseLayer 1.5 and 1.8 are compatible with the wxWidgets 2.8 and 2.9?
* DataBaseLayer supports all these DBs?
- Oracle,
- DB2,
- Microsoft SQL Server,
- Sybase,
- Pervasive SQL,
- IBM Lotus Domino,
- MySQL,
- PostgreSQL,
- SQLite3,
- Firebird.
Thanks for your help,
Joao
