What seems hypocritical to you? I don't understand your point? Are you offering me
help with re-engineering the driver? Problem is that I am using Oracle and array driver
works for DB2 and PostgreSQL, despite the fact that Oracle has array interface for the
longest time. DBI interface is not database neutral, it is also trying to promote certain
databases over other ones. To make things abundantly clear, Tim Bunce is pushing
MySQL and Pg at the expense of Oracle. If that is so, I'd appreciate a public statement
instead of this type of guerilla war.
What is that you find hypocritical and what is the point of your post? Received on Sat Dec 03 2005 - 03:07:04 CST
