I was wondering if Jim Starkey was in contact with the freeodbc++
library people? The freeodbc++ library is a C++ library with a
JDBC interface that sits on top of ODBC so its sort of the opposite
of what Jim is doing but it sure would be great to have them share
the same C++ API! Then you could code for just the nice C++ API
and either use freeodbc++ for access to ODBC based databases (like
Sybase and Solid Server) or use the direct JDBC C++ library that
Interbase supplies. Perhaps it could even become a new standard
just like Jim wanted and be supported directly on PostgreSQL as
well. I would love to see a nice clean API like that become a
standard as opposed to directly coding in grotty ODBC!

The home page for freeoodbc++ is:

PS: is Jim reading this mailing list or if not, anyone have his
email address. I would really like to try and bring these
two groups together!
