Serving from ODBC databases means beefing up (and implementing general calls) of the ODBC client from Tallent.I thought of accessing Frontier through ODBC like MS SQL Server, Oracle, Jet Datasources, MS Access. That would open a whole suite of (legacy) office and workflow apps.
Possible uses I can imagine:
- Having a huge selection of clients (Word, Excel, VB, PowerBuilder made clients, MapInfo, etc.) - Being able to represent the data as relational DB, Frontier ODB, XML - XQL as future developmentImplementation would need: - ODBC Driver - Communication through TCP/IP - Building at least ODBC Core or Level 1 compatibility (ODBC daemon in Frontier, parsing SQL-Queries, see: http://discuss.userland.com/msgReader$1782)
This will be a major task. Maybe it would be better to go straight into XQL parsing.
