[REBOL] Re: ODBC
From: ric_shepard:fishgame:state:ak:us at: 10-Dec-2000 9:28
Do you have any specifics on the bugs with certain SQL datatypes?
We're running REBOL/Command on Windows/NT workstation talking to
PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on NetBSD. The ODBC driver is the 'stock'
Win32 postodbc driver. So far, this has been an excellent setup
for producing reports. Far faster (and IMHO far more flexible)
than either Access or R:Base 2000 (the other 'front-ends' we use)
when dealing with an SQL server and above average (million+ rows)
size tables.
So far - we haven't had *any* trouble with Rebol/ODBC. But, since
we're about to start using Rebol for datbase updates as well, if
you know of specific trouble spots a heads up would be appreciated.
TIA
