Ms SQL

[NetNinja]

I wish in native Ms SQL (Express) capability, like SQLite or Postgre....
I think is a good improvement...

[KosterNET]

I agree Would be really nice! (better than via ODBC)

You can use ADOmate; it runs stable and is o.k.

As long as I remember it's a licensing problem why MS SQL server is not supported.

You will have to put some effort in it; some ado types are missing.

It would be nice if PB web site itself could host such 'external' libraries.

Same problem is with ORACLE; but here oci.dll can be used and runs seemless!

Oh, btw it's of course a valid wish; but things are going more in direction of programming little games than applications.

I'm going to try adomate.... but I think it's a shame that "things are going more in direction of programming little games than applications"... The powerfull of PB is in compact and fast stand-alone .exe It's a good thing for applications too, not for games only!!! ... I think.
I hate Visual Studio for these reasons... I prefer PB, always !!!

You know that you can 'install' an ODBC driver 'on the fly', so that the customer is not involved?

[HanPBF]

But You can not do this without the user having admin rights.

But if I would write an MSI package via InnoSetup or something else, having admin right during installation should make OBC installation available.

Any other way with/without admin rights?


"things are going more in direction of programming little games than applications" - stop! This is my personal opinion!
I like PB as a great software for building little helper tools; there are many other customers here building full size, complex applications with it! At the moment I can see more movement in 3D and other libraries; no development concerning IDE or compiler. But that's all another thing...


Regards!

Yes, we can use a "on the fly odbc structure", but there is a problem with admin right and I think ODBC is slow in performance than direct connection... I wish in MS SQL support again... ... again and again....
PS: but why you wrote about licensing problems? MS SQL Express is free... ?!?
