Today, I merged onto the tdbc::odbc trunk Christian Werner's changes for support of ODBC systems (specifically, iodbc) that use a 32-bit SQLWCHAR. By dint of sufficiently clever programming, the tdbc::odbc driver is able to detect at run time whether SQLWCHAR is 16 or 32 bits, and adapt its operation accordingly, so binary distributors need not worry about matching tdbc::odbc to the particular ODBC in use. Many other ODBC-using systems on Unix need to have separate versions for unixodbc and iodbc, but Tcl escapes that. Because this is a significant added capability (enabling the support of MacOSX and BSD-derived systems), I advanced the minor version from 1.0 to 1.1. Many thanks to Christian for managing to develop the solution, and to Ashok Nadkarni for being our tester for all things Windows! |
