I noticed this has come up every so often in the group. I wanted to
ask if anybody has had any success in interface to a database(i.e.
access or mysql) without the use of dataminer. We are currently using
IDL in a windows XP environment.
We have our home-grown database, and now we are thinking of moving to
a more formal database(most likely mysql). For a variety of reasons,
we would like avoid the use of dataminer.
Any opinons or comments would be greatly apperciated.
Thank you very much

I have a feeling, that I will use dlm's to implent the mysql-c api,
this seems too bad of an option. My inclination would be wrap a odbc
interface in an dlm, which is what dataminer essentially is. Man the
things you do to avoid buying something...:)
I very much apperciate your incite. Thank you
have a great day!

We are currently using Oracle in our production databases. However, I
have played around with MySQL and there the only minor differences with
regards to the database connectivity.
To really gauge how much work it would be is dependent on whether you've
done a lot of C database programming before. When I took on the task of
integrating IDL and Java, it took a few hours to get something basic
running, but I was already familiar with JDBC and the IDL-Java bridge.

I will. You too.
