| I'm looking for an ODBC driver for Firebird 1.0 or IB 6.02. What's the best free and where can i download it for a test ? Thank you in advance |

There are two ODBC drivers for free ( that i know ), the IBPhoenix ODBC Driver and the XTG ODBC Driver, you can download the latest snapshot of the ODBC Driver of IBPhoenix at : http://www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/OdbcJdbc-20020802-snapshot.zip Best regards Carlos Guzmán Álvarez Vigo-Spain |

| I didn't realize there was another project. Is there a reason you guys haven't tried to merge the two projects?

The XTG project is a straightforward, non-object oriented implementation of the ODBC functions over the IB/Fb api. The IBPhoenix driver is a layered, object oriented implementation. The database access layer is implemented using the JDBC interface specification. The ODBC functions are implemented using a set of OO classes that map the ODBC function calls onto the 'JDBC' objects. A lot more ambitious, but ultimately a lot more flexible. I doubt that many are aware that a fully functioning, object-oriented class library exists for Firebird, written in C++. It would probably be more pertinent to ask why we don't work with Olivier Mascia's IBPP project - that too is a fully functioning, object-oriented class library for Firebird, written in C++. However, it uses a different interface, so I doubt that there is much that can be shared. Paul -- Paul Reeves http://www.ibphoenix.com Supporting users of Firebird and InterBase |

| The way you guys are approaching this gives the work much more "legs". This is the way I would have done it too. I am great with Delphi, but C++ just isn't my cup of tea. Let me know how I can help. For the moment, I think testing is going to be my best area. Paul Reeves wrote: > Thomas Miller wrote: > >> I didn't realize there was another project.
