- Hello all,
-
- Does anyone have information on toolkits for writing a DOS/Windows client
- application that allow one to support a variety of database server vendors?
- For example, I would like my client application to support Oracle, Informix,
- Sybase, etc... without writing my own layer of code to support them all.
-
- The client application doesn't know at compile time what the database looks
- like, so the toolkit would need to support dynamic SQL.
-
- The toolkit shouldn't care whether the SQL server is running locally or on
- a remote machine. At some sites, the application might be configured to use a
- local database, and at other times access a remote database via the database
- vendor's network products (Sybase NET-Library, Informix INET-PC, etc..)
-
- Any information on this sort of development would be appreciated, whether it
- is info on toolkits, or experience rolling your own!
-
- Thanks, David Kirkpatrick
