Good idea. I'd be willing to put some time and effort in such a project. I'm on Windows and can test for DB/2, Oracle, InterBase, MySQL and SQL Server if need be. It would be cool to have a complete coverage of the ODBC API and have a package that is "self-contained" (no dependency on a particular TimeStamp implementation defined elsewhere for instance). We should use/fix whatever is broken/missing in the "base" image.
Is this the start of a new project? ;)

We should joint efforts to have an up-to-date and complete ODBC package.
I can help with Monticello stuffs....
Let me know.
Cheers.

I would also recommend ODBCEnh, which lets you use DSN-less connections, and implements doesNotUnderstand to look for common types of field names in the collections it returns (so that ARecord firstName can find field names like "firstName, or "FIRST_NAME," etc...). The ODBC package is a change set, which, if I recall, loads some global constants and things which made the TimeStamp class not work in Aida, I think. Anyway, if you have problems, let me know; I have a version I patched many months ago which seems to work...although I didn't know enough at the time to turn it into a Monticello package and wrap ODBCEnh up with it! Take care, Rob

I use it in combination with some classes in Magritte-RDB available from mc.lukas-renggli.ch/magritteaddons
Thanks for the pointers. Unfortunately, it appears from SqueakMap that the driver is GPLed and since we sell our enterprise server solution this is a no-go. I think I'll go with ODBC.
