Re: is back-sql still maintened ?

[Thomas Cramer <cramert@musc.edu>]

I often don't have much chance to do a lot of reading of this list, sorry 
for the tardiness of responding.  I have also been looking and working with 
the back-sql code.  I had worked out some problems (especially odbc probs) 
with the code...however it was with an older version of openldap then the 
HEAD, so I didn't feel comfortable working on it.  I will be picking it 
back up soon (as the system I put into production will be needing some 
upgrading soon), I will then make every effort to post back the code. 
Unfortunately, (since there are so many types of databases and so many 
exceptions to the ODBC rules per database vendor type and even per version) 
it is hard to push out a fix for one system without being sure it won't 
break other systems (even working out the unit test on this would be 
difficult, I feel).  Unfortunately there is no truly standard protocol to 
work with all databases.
