Hello,
I don't mean to hijack the thread. Does anyone have experience in using either HDBC or HSQL with Microsoft SQL server?
I use HDBC with MS SQL Server, Sybase, and Oracle. I use the ODBC bindings. I am running on both a windows XP machine and a linux machine (although I haven't been able to get Oracle connectivity on the linux machine).
When I started this project, I tried both HSQL and HDBC. I managed to connect to MS SQL Server, via ODBC, with both systems without problems. I ultimately chose to go with HDBC because I like the interface better (but this was a purely subjective decision).
Would you go as far to say that when new programmers ask which database binding to use, we should _recommend_ HDBC then? (As we do gtk2hs, for the gui libraries). -- Don
