wxSQLite vs. wxODBC
in [wxWindows]
|
From: Dave Bee on 5 Oct 2006 13:38 Another newbie question: is one clearly superior over the other or is it simply a matter of taste? I am leaning towards using wxSQLite for a small DB based app that I will be developing, but I wonder whether there are any compelling reasons to prefer wxODBC?

From: Dave Bee on 5 Oct 2006 20:45 OK - I see no reply, so I will ask my question differently: Is it safe to conclude that "wxODBC is dead, long live the new king wxSQLite3" ?

From: Kevin Hock on 5 Oct 2006 22:21 Dave, Comparing wxODBC and wxSQLite3 is comparing apples and oranges. wxSQLite3 is for embedding a database in your application, just like SQLite. wxODBC is for connecting to a database like DB2, Access, MySQL, like ODBC. So really it's not wxODBC vs wxSQLite3 but ODBC vs. SQLite3 and which is right for your application, since they are completely different.

From: Dave Bee on 5 Oct 2006 23:52 Kevin, thank you very much for your answer. I am embarrassed to admit that I learned something totally new here: I was under the misconception that wxSQLite3 supports communicating (using SQL statements) with databases like MySQL, Oracle, etc. Now I am learning that it is only for "embedded databases". For a while I thought I could get away with having to deal with ODBC driver installations etc. Now I see that isn't the case. Oh well.

As the name of my component, wxSQLite3, suggests, it's a wxWidgets wrapper for the popular SQLite 3.x database, giving access to almost all special features of SQLite in a wxWidgets compatible way. If you need support for other databases, you might be interested in the component DatabaseLayer which can be found at http://wxcode.sourceforge.net. DatabaseLayer currently supports SQLite3, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Firebird, and ODBC as database backends. Work on Oracle support is in progress, AFAIK.
