Description: ------------ I find very usefull to have an ODBC driver, like the one in the DB package. Is it planned to have an ODBC driver like we have in DB?

I personally have no need for such a driver. I would of course welcome someone else who steps up to deliver such a driver. It should not be all that hard by using the PEAR::DB and Metabase driver as a basis.

An ODBC driver would be very helpful for me too. The only reason because I am not switching from DB to MDB2 at the moment, is the missing ODBC support in MDB2. Hopefully there will be one soon.

I could also need an ODBC driver, or even an OLE driver as there don't exist a Pervasive driver.

Is anyone working on this at all? I NEED one now. Any suggestions?

Not that I know of. How much do you need it ?

Lukas is right. I just installed PEAR: DB, then wrote: <?php // include required files require_once 'XML/Query2XML.php'; require_once 'DB.php'; try { $db = DB::connect('odbc://user:password@server/table'); $query2xml = XML_Query2XML::factory($db); $sql="SELECT * FROM DATABASE "; $xml = $query2xml->getFlatXML($sql); header('Content-Type: text/xml'); $xml->formatOutput = true; echo $xml->saveXML(); } catch (Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } ?>
