Hi Brent and everyone,
I'm just starting to read about Magma and the Lava SQL abstraction layer. Is there a JDBC driver for it so that it could "pretend" to be just any other relational database for WebObjects, Brio Query, and whatnot?
I'm still coming to grips with new ways of thinking. Seems like this Lava SQL abstraction layer is a brilliant solution to allow more people to move to an object database but still support other departments' tools of choice for accessing the data.
Thank you, -- Aaron

No - but it is in the roadmap :) Indeed the onlyreason for Lava was to allow Magma to be used in IT environments where someone,sonewhere would like to make anad hoc query.
Unofrtunately, I have not had the time this year to work on it. I have however done some investigation and unixODBC is the way to go on all platforms.
I can be enticed back should others wish to collaborate on the odbc driver code.
