Re: [Sqlrelay-discussion] Use with standard programs

[David M. <dav...@fi...>]

Using the sqlrelay drop-in-replacement libraries, in theory, you can use
SQL Relay with any program except PHP that supports mysql or postgresql.

See these pages for more info:
http://sqlrelay.sourceforge.net/sqlrelay/dropin/mysql.html
http://sqlrelay.sourceforge.net/sqlrelay/dropin/postgresql.html

If an app uses odbc, then in theory, you could configure ODBC to use
mysql or postgresql, then use the drop-in replacement libraries on top
of that.

I say in theory because I haven't tried doing that with lots of apps and
there could be things that don't work.

I'm currently working on an ODBC api for SQL Relay which should enable
it to work with any app that uses ODBC without having to pretend to be
mysql or postgresql.  But it has turned out to be quite a project and
may be a while before it's production-ready.
