Hi all,
Just curious if IDL supports any kind of database formats, like
FileMaker Pro, SYLK or MS Access ...
thanks

IDL 5.0 Has "Data Miner" capability. It uses ODBC for communication with
your database. As long as your OS has OBDC drivers, then it should work.
PC's typically have ODBC drivers for Access, but the others I am not sure.

You can use Write_SYLK and Read_SYLK for SYLK access. And the
new database object has been absolutely terrific in the few
simple examples I've played around with. Very simple and
easy to use with the MS Access databases I've accessed.
Cheers,
David
