Re: RogueWave DBTools

Not really. The DbTools libraries for each engine are actually implemented using the native database calls. The overhead is not very big and their class structure is very well laid out. Plus you get portability to other databases including ODBC without changing any code. I've used these libraries and love them. They are definitely worth a look. Only drawback I know of is price, but I believe the cost is well worth it in productivity gains. If you want, I'll send you a small program that handles ad_hoc queries from the command line. I think you'll be surprised at how small the program is. HTH, Perry Dillard Shop Floor Solutions, Inc.
