Re: [Perfparse-devel] libdbi

[Ben C. <Be...@cl...>]

Hi Chris,

I am very excited about the possibility of porting to Oracle.  It had 
always been an aim to support many DBMS platforms.  Nobody has yet had a 
go at this, so you are welcome to have a go.

I have never heard of libdbi, I'll have to take a look.  We do want 
support for PostgreSQL, Fireblade, Interbase and others.  If this lib 
offers an easy way to do this, then all the better.  But I do echo Yves 
comments that it may be better for the product to use the basic c API 
from Oracle.  You will be able to take advantage of the abilities of the 
API's which a generic API might not have.  Stability, speed, special 
cursors etc.

We are tying to release version 0.0.11 at the moment.  I would not 
advise any work until then.  However, you may want to have a look at the 
current code and judge how much of an effort this will be.

If you do choose to work with us, you will of course be credited as an 
author and developer in all the usual places.

Kind regards,

Ben
