This page should give you a rough impression about the next steps in the development of the OpenDBX database access library. Further suggestions are always welcome.
Windows support
One of the highest priority is supporting the Windows platform natively using Microsofts "Services for Unix". Unfortunately, I'm not a Windows developer and even if many other people also want a Windows version, none had the time/knowledge to finish the job yet.
Anyway, the good news is: The library is already capable loading backends dynamically in a Windows-specific way and it was tested using Cygwin and MinGW. We need a Makefile and maybe a project file for MSVC - that should be all.
Version 1.5
- Prepared statement interface
- DB2 backend
Version 1.7
- Ingres backend
- Informix backend
Version 2.0
- Remove deprecated functions and constants
- Use negative error constants
- Use enums instead of preprocessor constants for all parameters and return values
