database access using JAVA or COM
type: item
description: Has anyone made any database connectivity tools publicly available? I know that Mike Wallace has done a lot of work with the IDL-Java bridge and JDBC but I don't think he has released anything. I have worked with the ADODB COM object and plan to experiment with it in IDL this afternoon but ideally someone will have already done this :) -Rick

description: My quest for database connectivity continues... ADO + IDL's COM interface is a no go. Despite the work of Paul and others, IDL's com interface is still not complete. It is unable to properly return arrays of type variant containing mixed types nor is it able (as best as I can tell) return arrays of arrays of type variant. I will submit my feature request and hope for the best but I am not holding breath. Renaud, I have dropped you a couple of emails with no response so I will try one last time by posting here. I would very much like to test DataJiver. Please email me or post additional information. -Rick On Sep 3, 5:47 pm, rs.use...@gmail.com wrote: > Hello, > > I will be releasing such a tool at the ADASS conference > (http://www.adass.org/) next month.
