wine users - Feb 2004 - Does wine supports database applications

Hai Fabian ,
          Can you kindly describe me how you achieved this. In which way did
you connect to the database. Did you use the ADO method or ODBC DSN method
to connect to the database. Please kindly guide me.

                                                                Saravanan

wine supports database applications.

Well, it's an MFC app so it offers classes for db access (CDao...).
For this to work we need to install the MDAC package first. But that's
also necessary on Windows. But apart from that nothing more is needed.
Install wine, run the setup of the application and we're finished.
