I use Nexusdb as my db engine. It is a remarkable c/s product which has no deployment or royalty costs. It has an ODBC driver. I would love to be able to provide my clients with a wiki which uses the same db storage as their production databases. This would minimize overhead and facilitate backups, etc. I wish instiki had an ODBC interface - -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

> I wish instiki had an ODBC interface -Instiki is built on Rails, so in theory every DB supported by Rails should work. I don''t believe there is a generic ODBC adapter for Rails though :-( On the other hand, I didn''t search too hard - i just looked at what rails ships with. Nowadays Rails seems to have a plugin for everything. Cheers, Assaph
Depending on how motivated you are, it might be possible to get at arbitrary ODBC via DBI-Link. This hack allows PostgreSQL to access any DB that is supported by Perl DBI: ??? -> PostgreSQL -> PL/PerlU -> DBI-Link -> Perl DBI -> ODBC (etc) -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume rdm at cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development
