Also there're ODBC drivers for opensource rdbms like PostgreSQL. I'd really recommend using postgresql under gnu/linux and connecting you wine'd application to it via odbc, instead of using silly wannabe-databases like access or m$-sql-server. BTW: is there any interest in adapting the win-odbc to unixODBC within wine ? cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT services phone: +49 36207 519931 www: http://www.metux.de/ fax: +49 36207 519932 email: contact@xxxxxxxx cellphone: +49 174 7066481 --------------------------------------------------------------------- DSL-Zugang ab 0 Euro. -- statische IP -- DSL-Flatfrate -- Diese Mail wurde mit UUCP versandt. http://www.metux.de/uucp/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
