Andreas,
Thank you for your reply and your support.
The virtualization is designed to support any source that you have a
JDBC driver for and it has been tested with MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL,
HSQLDB, and PostgreSQL. For sources without a JDBC driver, you can use
the JDBC-ODBC bridge. More testing is definitely needed for all
sources.
By Thursday I should have a version of the plug-in available for people
to try. I have participated in other open source projects before (e.g.
PostgreSQL) with a very formalized patch review process. What is the
best way to distribute a plugin for testing or evaluation to the
community or project reviewers? The simplest would be to provide the
plugin as a zip file on a web site and provide a link to it, but I want
to follow the process used by the SQuirreL community.
I look forward to working with you.

Subject: Re: [Squirrel-sql-develop] Plugin to Support Multiple Source
Querying
Hi Ramon,
from my point of view this plugin would be very useful. I use SQuirreL
for querying different types of databases and sometimes it would be very
useful if I could interconnect the results from queries to different
types of databases. What kind of restrictions would there be for the
data sources that would be combined into the virtual data source? Due to
the lack for JDBC drivers for some of my datasources the possibility of
using ODBC connections would be very important. The disadvantages of
using the JDBC to ODBC bridge have been thoroughly discussed in the
SQuirreL mailing-lists, but sometimes there is no other possibility.
Do you have plans to make those virtual datasource available for
application server data sources as well? Using your solution as a
javax.sql.DataSource would create great opportunities.
Looking forward to what might develop from your ideas.
If I could be of any kind of help I'd be happy to help developing.
Especially I could provide help testing for
* Oracle
* MySQL
* MS SQL
* different ODBC datasources (e.g. Aspentech InfoPlus.21, MS
Access databases)
Also I could work on translating to german if that might be needed.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Kind regards
Andreas Oswald

Hello,
I am working on a plugin to allow a SQuirreL user to query multiple
sources in one query. I would like to see if there is interest in such
a plugin and if so, the code review and development process to follow.

Thank you for your time.
