Hi Folks,
the GNU Application Libraries for Pascal (GNUALP) framework has grown. After multithreading, it now also provides database access. As a default implementation, there is an ODBC unit available.
The tarballs can be downloaded from http://www.markus.gerwinski.de/gnualp/. To run the ODBC part, you will have to install gnualp-0.1.5.tar.gz first, then gnualpodbc-0.1.1.tar.gz. Both projects can be installed, as usual, with ./configure, make, make install.
To run the demo program(s) in the demos/pas resp. demos/c subdirs of gnualpodbc, you'll need to have a working ODBC environment installed. If you have, just start the odbcdemo program with a valid data source name as command line argument, and you'll see a nice little command-line SQL client. :-)
gnualpodbc-0.1.1 is tested with the following system configurations:
- SuSE Linux 8.0 and above, iodbc-3.51.2, and a mysql-4.0.20 database accessed via myodbc-3.51.09.
- Windows XP with MinGW, mysql-4.0.20, and myodbc-3.51.9-win. You'll maybe have to download libmsvcp60 from somewhere (it was pre-installed in my MinGW distro, but that doesn't seem to be standard).
Have fun,
Markus
