Re: [Bug-apl] ⎕SQL

[Elias Mårtenson]

I personally have nothing against adding other providers, the API to do so is very simple and I'll be happy to help anyone who wants to do it. 

It's just that I have neither interest nor need to do it myself, so I won't be the person doing this work. 

I was looking into adding Oracle support, but the OCI library that you have to use to do that is absolutely awful, so I stopped that effort. I might pick it up again at some point if I really have the need to do that. 

Regards, 

Elias

My component and keyed file systems are built on Elias' SQL DB interface.  Do I need to convert those?

Also, if we are making the SQL interface an integral part of GNU APL, I would really like to see MS SQL Server support added.

Thanks!

Hi,

Elias (the author of the SQL native function) and myself have
converted the previously native function into a system function named
⎕SQL. Everything else remains the same.

The wslib5/SQL.apl workspace was updated accordingly; if you use
that workspace instead of the native function directly then you should
not notice any differences.

The native function for SQL will remain for a while, but disappear eventually.

Enjoy,
Jürgen
