back-sql enhancements
Summary of recent updates to CVS version (hope they will get into 2.0.7)
- back-sql approved to work with unixODBC and EasySoft's OBDC-ODBC
bridge. many thanks to Emile Heitor, isdnet.
in summary, back-sql is reported by lots of people to work with:
iODBC and unixODBC driver managers on Un*x, odbc32.dll on
Windows
OpenLink's and EasySoft's access suites, and various standalone
drivers on Un*x and Windows
Oracle 7/8, MS SQL Server 6.5/7, mySQL > 3.22.25, Teradata
RDBMSes
(may be more - just mail ;)
- filter processing and translation to SQL fixed (no more crashes on
malformed filters - ITS #855, fixed case-insensitive matches on
case-sensitive RDBMSes like Oracle)
thanks go to Mathieu Guillaume, Vox Mobili, for help in wiping
this out
- improvements in documentation, including some useful tricks suggested
by Robin Elfrink
- support for multiclassing (in addition to objectclass an entry maps to
SQL data, it can now have any number of "fake" objectclasses, and match
in queries for this objectclasses)
- support for referrals, using multiclassing
- documentation and samples updated to these changes
todo:
- password exop, for ldappasswd to work with back-sql, as requested by
Nick Bobuh
- client IP and other useful parameters to be made available in SQL
queries, as requested by Robin Elfrink
- entry caching to improve performance
- alias support
- further tests for memory leaks and other stability issues (can
anyone help with this?)
