I would be very interested to hear about the difficulties you (and
any others!) have experienced with the iODBC Frameworks, and to hear
any suggestions toward resolving these. It has never been our intent
to provide something unusable!
The best path toward such resolution is probably the OpenLink Case
System, accessed through our online Support Center --
http://support.openlinksw.com/
There is no charge for this service, and it is tracked by all our key
personnel. We do require that you register with the site (takes only
a minute or three) and provide a valid email address; case interaction
is direct between you and our staff, via web and/or email.
Alternatively, we have publicly accessible Usenet-style newsgroups
on our own server. Either of these could serve this need --
nntp://news.openlinksw.co.uk/openlink.public.iodbc.development
nntp://news.openlinksw.co.uk/openlink.public.iodbc.discussion
And last, there are the various project email lists, accessible
through the SourceForge project site, linked from the iODBC home,
http://www.iodbc.org/
Please do let us know about any issues -- we want this gear to work,
and Mac OS X to be just as viable for ODBC users as any other -- now
including Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, SCO OpenServer, etc.
Be seeing you,
Ted
