RE: [PEAR-DEV] ODBTP PECL Extension - Evaluation

Based on suggestions by others, I have made some modifications to the odbtp extension. It now can be used for the mssql ext via function aliasing, just like the sybase ext. You will be able to use this ext with very few changes, if any, to existing PHP scripts that use the mssql ext. Not only does it include virtually all of the functionality from the mssql ext, it also includes all of the additional odbtp functionality, such as mssql_prepare, mssql_set_cursor, mssql_commit and mssql_rollback. The behaviour of the odbtp/mssql ext will also be exactly the same on all platforms. None of the problems that remain in the current mssql ext due to the limitations or bugs in DB-Library or FreeTDS are present in this ext. Of course, this does not imply that the odbtp/mssql ext won't have its own set of problems. :) -- bob On Mon, 28 Apr 2003, Lukas Smith wrote: > > From: Robert Twitty [mailto:rtwitty@neutron.ushmm.org] > > Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2003 3:56 AM > > > > I created an extension for PHP that I would like to be evaluated by > people > > with more experience in extension development than I.
