SOFTINOV MySQL and PostgreSQL drivers for REBOL

[1/3] from: jason:cunliffe:verizon at: 17-Sep-2002 5:38

Doc Kimbel's company has drivers: http://www.softinnov.com/logiciels_drivers.shtml# Database drivers The REBOL language has no free drivers for the free openSource databases, MySQL and PostgreSQL. SOFTINOV has developped its own drivers in REBOL. These drivers are not "wrappers" for libraries supplied by teh publsihesr of these databases, but true native drivers which do not need any other file or libaries to use. The drivers are a good example of SOFTINOV's know-how: They are compact. (1 20Kb file for each) They are reliable. (3 bugs emerged during 1 year of beta version) They are easy to use. They are fully documented. (HTML, with .PDF in the works) They are free and openSource. They are used by hundreds of developers around the world. ........................ Drivers Base de donn�es Le langage REBOL ne poss�dant pas de drivers gratuits pour les bases de donn�es MySQL et PostgreSQL issues du monde de l'open source, SOFTINNOV a developp� ses propres drivers en langage REBOL. Ces drivers ne sont pas des "wrappers" de librairies fournies par les editeurs de ces bases de donn�es, mais de vrais drivers natifs ne n�cessitant aucun autre fichier ou librairie pour fonctionner. Ces drivers sont un bon exemple du savoir-faire de SOFTINNOV : Ils sont compacts. (1 fichier de 20Ko pour chacun) Ils sont robustes. (3 bugs signal�s en 1 an sur les versions b�ta) Ils sont simples d'usage. Ils sont compl�tement document�s (format HTML, PDF en cours) Ils sont gratuits et open source. Ils sont utilis�s par des centaines de developpeurs � travers le monde. ./Jason ______________________________________________ Jason Cunliffe [NOMADICS: Director art+design] Tel/fax: +1 718 422-1078 [jasonic--nomadics--org] N 43:00.000' W 074:31.875' ALT:1144 ft 84 Henry Street #3C Brooklyn NY 11201 USA

Hello all, I know I should post this to softinnov but since this is not the first time I get an error of this kind with archives I thought it might be a generic problem : I downloaded (via netscape) the mysql-xxx.rip archive and tried to decompress it from the rebol console but got a checksum error :

>> do %mysql-xxx.rip

Checksum failed 5024666 15166388 I had the same problem after downloading the library.rip archive from http://www.reboltech.com/library/library.rip :

>> do %library.rip

Checksum failed 12557224 15077350 however installing the archive from the desktop (using the wwr) did not exhibit the problem. This led me to think that Netscape was causing the problem by not preserving the file content but downloading the archive via rebol via :

>> write %mysql-099.rip read http://rebol.softinnov.org/mysql/mysql-099.rip

gave the same result... So Netscape is not guilty and I'm sitting there wondering what kind of gremlin is currently playing with my machine :) Did any other people here have the same problem with archives or am I doing something wrong ? Many thanks in advance. Regards, Laurent

Hi Laurent, I guess that Netscape doesn't know how to retrieve 'rip files and use the text mode by default. IE5 seems to download it the right way. If you want to retrieve it from REBOL console, you should better use 'binary mode :

>> write/binary %mysql-099.rip read/binary http://rebol.softinnov.org/mysql/mysql-099.rip
