Apparently iits currently out on Oracle on Windows and UNIX. Also on SQL Server and ODBC.

I don't have DBTools, but from the stuff sent by their UK distributor, it seems similar from the public interface point of view to DB.H++. I'm looking at using it to provide RDBMS access for our OO system, but although it seems fine as a Wrapper for RDBMS, (Database, Table classes etc), it lacks any mechanisms for mapping to/from business domain objects.

We are now in a position where we either grow our own mapping mechanism or just use DBTools as a wrapper and use their public interface directly which does not seem to offer much advantage over Embedded SQL.

Hope this helps! Received on Tue Feb 07 1995 - 16:20:06 CET
