No, it's going to cost money and time to develop and maintain and it's going to help microsofts loonie-platform gain credibility. If people want to write cross platform programs they are better of using Java, if they want to write windows programs then it's only fitting that they bear the full pain of the bysantine windows api and language selection. Let's not help microsoft migrate developers onto a new controlled platform, when it's less painful to simply migrate to the relatively open platform of Java. > If you want to hurt Microsoft, hit them where it hurts Why not just hit them every chance you get in stead of holding out for the "big hit"? If you want to hurt microsoft then release a crappy driver and spread FUD about their products (well it's what they'd do)... > > I would add that our testing has shown what Daniel says to be > > true.

Why can't a C# driver link to the ODBC driver? _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
