PB 4.0 Database

[Schobaer]

What changes becomes in PB 4 about Databeses?

I don't know, but I would find a native lightweight PB-SQL Database very handy, beside the ODBC functions of course.
Code without any restrictions in its licence can be found with the SQLite Database, that could be used as a start and is available in C and is easy to convert for other platforms as well, as it's only File-Managing, right?

That would be a powerfull addition to PB

That's right! I want to convert a VB Project to PB. This Project use MySql. What I mean is: Is it planned in PB 4 to change the language or the handle of databases so I can not use PB 3.9 code in PB 4 code.

Seriously, if you already do MySql with VB, why not stick to it in PureBasic. and use what you already know. There are many examples showing how to use MySql with PureBasic, either through ODBC or using code like Max2's direct connect to MySQL server and there are tutorials as well.

I personally posted a small direct connect gui using Max2's direct connect code showing how to do simple data returns.

True.

I would be happy just to have a native record manager similar to MyDB or even Tsunami (preferably not quite as wanky to use as Tsunami).

I think the allready present database commands are enough. ODBC support is the most importend and that is available.
For all other database connectivities you can use .DLLs.

There are much other more importend things to do for Release 4.0.
