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? ;)
I am certainly game but I can't lead the project (too much stuff on my plate). In the meantime I've done a bit of work with ODBC and besides fixing various issues in the ODBC library (there were plenty of wrong declarations) I've removed the old Timestamp stuff (and speed up reading datetimes by about 5x), added support for prepared statements, did some refactoring (there is lots more to be done) and brought everything into MC (i.e., using proper SharedPools).
Since I've got the code already in MC if someone registers a project I'll be happy to contribute the changes. Oh, and I'll be mostly using unixODBC here so we'll get coverage on this end as well.
