ODBC Suport

Could you tell me if fastreport.net supports ODBC or is there a plugin for it?

ODBC means we could use almost any database [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Many Thanks, - Anthony[/img]

    Hello,

    There is no ODBC support now; we will implement it later.

    ok, would you mind looking at it as soon as you can?

    The reason I ask is that any software the uses mysql connector .net should be open source (connector.net is GPL *NOT* LGPL),
    or have a commercial usage license (and that costs a fair bit of money).

    To avoid needing to link to mysql software, you can use ODBC as it is not dependant on mysql, it's a universal interface that can use
    mysql if the end user chooses to, the software will be completely independant of mysql, meaning I won't legally have to release the source code of my application.

    Thanks,

    - Anthony

    I've been looking at the mysql plugin and I don't think it'll be much different...

    using system.data.odbc; ...
    MySqlConnectionStringBuilder = ODBCConnectionStringBuilder
    MySqlConnection = ODBCConnection

    maybe it's just a simple change?

    I'll start to implement it in the next week. I will let you know when I finish.

    Hello,

    ODBC support will be available in the next daily build (1.2.13).

    Very fast work! Thanks for this!

    Are the daily builds automated, if so, what time are they available? I look forward to trying it out.

    Thanks,

    Anthony
