Ok, i have a simple database engine (its a proprietary product written in vb6) for one of my applications…
i’d like to create an ODBC driver for it so i can use some of my other applications (which require a database) with my database engine rather than microsoft sql (which they are currently using)….
Does anyone have any heads up on how to develop an ODBC driver (preferably in vb6) … i’v spent the last few hours googling it and havnt had much luck… about the best thing i have found so far is: http://www.datadirect.com/products/openaccess/index.ssp
but i dont exactly want to go buying an SDK to write an ODBC driver…
Cheers in advance,
If you have to ask, you won’t be able to do it 🙂 Seriously, writing an ODBC driver is big undertaking – I looked at doing so for a project I was on once, and eventually advised against trying, and I have a pretty good understanding of ODBC. And it really needs to be mostly written in a lower level language such as C or C++ – VB6 is not really suitable.
