Still making slow progress on an Oracle database binding... now I'm trying to fit the API I have into some sort of abstract interface (like the one(s) discussed previously:

Since the previous dicussion I've discovered Krasimir Angelov's HSQL interface as part of his HTOOLKIT: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=65248 This has a uniform abstract interface similar to the one discussed, apparently implemented for MYSQL, ODBC, and PostgreSQL. I've only played with the MYSQL variant. If possible, it would seem sensible to provide a consistent interface for your Oracle binding. If not, it may be worth persuading him to generalise the interface. Then again, perhaps you knew about this already. Tim
