Would like to see ocelot working in plain dll mode.

I tried yesterday but hte hEnv handle was -1.

No ODBC route..

I don't think SQLite is as complete as this. Certainly last time I looked it didn't support all SQL commands. Ocelot also has a little demo program that provides a gui for creating make table, select and update statements you can then execute them or copy and paste them.

I know from reading the forums lots of database programmers would prefer not to use ODBC, maybe this could be a good alternative.

If anyone gets it working in DLL mode please let us know how.

Ocelot is interesting for sure. The license is questionable and a little confusing (Mozilla or GPL?) and that's always a worry to me..

It also appears that it hasn't been updated since 2001. And it's "supported OSes" are "Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/NT"...

I'll play with it some more, though.. Thanks for pointing it out!

Summary: Status Change - February 2003

Ocelot Computer Services Inc. has recategorized the product. This means the company will no longer offer maintenance contracts or provide custom programming services for users. The product will remain as an archetypal example of what a standard-SQL compliant DBMS should look like. We will no longer try to position THE OCELOT SQL DBMS for commercial users.

I think this means no futher development. But maybe i miss understood.

That's another thing that's cool about PB - you don't need a law degree to understand the license.
