This may not suit some folks because they don't want to rewrite the Depends upon how you write it. Everything we write in VO is written to an API at some level.

From: Geoff Schaller on 30 Mar 2006 23:57 Gary, That's right, so if you are using an application that is only ever likely to be deployed against MySQL then it would make sense to write a class library wrapping the API. But this is not necessarily trivial work. In the case of ADO, Jet and Oracle there are excellent libraries already created, tested and deployed that would significantly save the next developer time. oth Robert's and Thomas' products are well written and would even provide a nice template for someone wanting to write a MySQL wrapper. However (and I don't know for sure), I think the original correspondent was thinking of something more generic. Geoff PS - well... no rain today so you got your wish <g>. Cool but fine. Ed is down at the track somewhere but I rather gather there is a little less excitement because of the new rules. How many cars will go out today? And the burning question of the hour is: what is Michael S. up to taking on Bernie over cigarette advertising <g>.

Why? Why wouldn't you simply set a flag that says "I'm using X as my driver" and switch code/drivers accordingly? Did it years ago, btw. > But this is not necessarily trivial work.

Saturday is when the real action starts. As to ciggie ads, have you noticed what it's like in EU? -- g. Gary Stark gstark(a)RedbacksWeb.com http://www.RedbacksWeb.com

Smoking .... Heard on BBC this morning (so it must be true?!) that a farmer now drives 100+ miles in his 4x4 from Scotland, where there is now a smoking ban, into England (where there isn't yet) just to have a ciggie with his pint in a pub. Think of the pollution! In Ireland there is debate as to whether it is legal to smoke in a company provided car - place of work - as opposed to a personally owned car which isn't a place of work. Lawyers are rejoicing. Mike |
