1305.0. "ODBC supporting the MS ODBC 3.0 specification?" by BROKE::BASTINE () Mon Feb 24 1997 11:52

Are there plans for the next version of the ODBC driver (the one AFTER
2.10.11) to support the Microsoft 3.0 ODBC specification?

A customer asked if the 2.10.11 supported it, and according to release 
information, it supports the MS 2.01 spec.

Thanks,
Renee

1305.1Rdb8?CHSR38::ROHRThe Packers did it!Tue Feb 25 1997 04:434
    From what I gather ODBC V3 will come with Rdb8. But I'd be interested
    as well in more specific (or approximate) dates.

1305.2No ODBC SDK 3.0 support in Rdb8SQLSRV::MAVRISSue Mavris - [email protected]Mon Apr 21 1997 11:508
Sorry Regina... not true.  There will not be an ODBC SDK 3.0 compliant driver 
in Rdb8.

If you have customers expressing interest in ODBC 3.0, please let us know 
what features of the 3.0 SDK they're interested in.  We'll consider this 
support for a future version if customers require it.

1305.3What can we do to get this considered?BROKE::BASTINEMon Apr 21 1997 13:4915
Hi Sue,

   There have been several calls asking when our ODBC drivers will support 
V3.0.  Some of the customers have already tried to use some features that 
require it and get told they can't use it.  Diane had one customer last week.
He was trying to use File DSN's, (whatever those are).  The customer I had
wanted the 3.0 compliance, but never gave specifics as to what they were 
interested in... just wanted to know when our Driver would comply with it.

   What do we have to do to get this considered?  Shouldn't our products be 
compliant with the latest specs out there?

Thanks,
Renee
1305.4Send requests and specifics to Jan SchwartzSQLSRV::MAVRISSue Mavris - [email protected]Mon Apr 21 1997 16:108
Hi Renee,

You can send requests with specifics to the Rdb desktop manager, Jan Schwartz 
([email protected]).  This work hasn't been scheduled.  It's a 
significant amount of work that we will schedule if there is sufficient 
customer demand.

1305.5Sounds like a marketing issue to me ;-)NOMAHS::SECRISTRdb WWS; [email protected]Wed Apr 23 1997 17:3012

    I understand -- but aren't customers going to use this as a 
    differentiator which puts Microsoft, etal. "ahead" of us ?
