SCO SQL-Retriever for 32-bit Windows applications delivers an easy, open way to access UNIX system SQL databases from Windows95 and Windows NT developer tools or personal productivity programs. It is designed for people who want to rapidly develop efficient client/server database access solutions. SCO SQL-Retriever system's simple, open architecture provides access to all popular UNIX system SQL database systems -- simultaneously if necessary -- without the cost or complication associated with proprietary database vendor networking products or proprietary developer tools. Features + Connects 32-bit Windows applications to UNIX system SQL databases + Automatically detects networking and database configuration information during installation + Supports Oracle, Informix, CA-Ingres, Sybase, Interbase and Progress + Includes optional system management + Provides simple but powerful Security Manager facility + Includes examples and tips for developers (Delphi, Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Office) + Involves no additional cost / complexity of database vendors' connectivity products + Part of an integrated suite Benefits + High-performance 32-bit ODBC middleware product + Extremely easy to set up and maintain + Single generic product, no matter which database or UNIX platform you use + Programming-free system management + Secure, controlled access to business-critical data + Extensive help for Windows developers + Open with no hidden costs and no database vendor lock-in + Delivers the benefits of Vision Services on Windows and UNIX systems We have consistent levels of support in the UK (8am-5.30pm) and in the US SQL-R is typically half the price of competitor ODBC drivers We benefit from the backup of SCO's world-wide presence (Support, Development and Sales) We number amongst our userbase: The UK's leading provider of legal systems One of the largest high street insurance brokers One of the largest resellers for library systems Twinned JDBC driver (Type 3) Ease of administering PCs when combined with SuperVision Bolts together easily with other members of Vision97 family (SMB product, X Server, Terminal emulator) Further information at: http://www.sco.com/vision/products/sqlretriever/ David Williams wrote: > In article <3505A034.324E9E4@sco.com_no_spam>, Allan Gould > <allang@sco.com_no_spam> writes > >David Williams wrote: > > > >> In article <35030E80.18560013@sco.com_no_spam>, Allan Gould > >> <allang@sco.com_no_spam> writes > >> >ANTS wrote: > >> > > >> >> Is there an ODBC that can work without I-Net?
