FYI, in the Unix/Linux universe people are using MaxDB with JDBC, Perl, PHP, Python and ODBC. The JDBC-driver is first class and heavily used inhouse in various projects. A Python driver is available as native driver. Perl and PHP were until a few weeks based on the ODBC driver and are (or will be soon) available as native drivers. There is nothing wrong with the ODBC driver based Perl and PHP data base access in the sense of functionality, but the new native drivers can deliver more throughput for your application. Furthermore the syntax of the new drivers is as similar as possible to the MySQL function names making a migration to MaxDB rather easy. Finally ODBC is also used in some inhouse projects. In the Windows universe ODBC has a little bit more weight since it is used in combination with Microsofts bridges for OLE and .NET data provider. In addition SQLStudio, MaxDB's sophisticated query tool, uses ODBC for db access. Eventually, you can use directly SQLDBC, MaxDB's native interfaces in C and C++, if you want to code really near at the data base. SQLDBC is the foundation of the new PHP and Perl drivers and will be for the next ODBC driver.
