Leave a comment

In the latest days, some messages coming from a CodeGear person were posted in some Brazilian’s Delphi/Firebird discussions lists, asking for users to report any problem related to the use of the new DBX4 drivers (coming with Delphi 2007) and Firebird.

Finally, this development release contains a prototype of an ODBC backend for the OpenDBX database access library. It’s not fully functional yet and misses the code for data retrieval but data definition and manipulation statements work. Also, the code does compile cleanly if the latest GCC compiler suite is used.

I have a great news for you. 🙂 I’ve got offer from Paul Beach to
continue with developement of NETProvider as lead and maintaining it
