(Openlink documentation is near non-existant) Also note that I have not seen _any_ independant benchmarks for ODBC drivers. But anything has to be faster than INet. Q&E have upgraded the ODBC spec - which they are allowed to do - (paying Microsoft for the privelige) - but apparently Microsoft haven't told Openlink of this fact... Kingsley, Q&E suggest that your openlink driver should report back a "driver not capable" error and continue and not a "function type out of range" for the >1000 odbc parameter. I would be grateful if you could look into fixing that... otherwise I am going to have to use Q&E ODBC Pack & INet (yuck) > For More Information Contact: > OpenLink Software > Tel: ++44-181-681-7701 > Fax: ++44-181-681-7702 > Email: 72662,3403@compuserve.com Kingsley, I think you can be justified in putting this info in the FAQ - but don't post too many blatent adverts :-) I have heard rumours that Openlink doesn't work with Informix 6 - but that is probably nothing but rumours - and you can always try before you buy... -- Alex McLintock [also alexmc@biccdc.co.uk] Editor for the Project Galactic Guide (alt.galactic-guide) Number 6
