Subject: [INTERFACES] Re: new maintainer for the ODBC driver?

[snip]

IMHO, the ODBC driver at the current state is a great one, so it's worth
to continue the work on it. Have you got any statistics about the number
of people using the driver at the moment? This year most of the mails
on the INTERFACES list are about the JDBC driver. So, sometimes I don't
think that the ODBC driver has any future. But now, maybe... :-)

PM: I had noticed that the ODBC driver had gone quiet lately, but then even
JDBC has it's mad moments, then quiet spells. Both JDBC & ODBC are similar
api's, so there can be some overlap between them. Some time ago, I did
mention about copying the JDBC's crypt implementation over to ODBC (strip
some Java specific stuff out and you'll have pure C) to enable ODBC to use
crypt().
