I did an ODBC-wrapper in Command1.0 times and from time to time I am still
using it with /View or Command2.0, as it is more flexible than the native
implementation.

But I think it has a few memory flaws and is not made according Rebol/port
conventions.

I have a tcp/ip connection to the Cache ODBC&JDBC-server port too.

If anyone wants to clean them up...

This sounds like the most likely solution for me ;-)  I guess I will grab the 
'Teach Yourself XML in'  & give it a go.  ;-)

Ha! Then those trying to develop Rebol in Java, should try to develop 
Rebol in Rebol itself ... :-) Anyway - IOS has to be making them real 
money, as business Rebol users = Command users are being left one year 
without the single, and as I can see from your post, it really needs an 
update :-) ... Or just maybe they sold Command just to you and me, so it 
is not worth to update it? ;-)

I know, I know. Mailed it to feedback 6 months ago or so.

But... Oracle support on Linux was also necessary, so Command
was the right choice. Even better: you can easily replace the mysql
protocol in Command, so...

Nevertheless, their C mysql implementation has room for improvement ;-)
Another thing: The pure REBOL solution by DocKimbel is faster (!)
than the C implementation on the REBOL layer ;-)

They are better than they think at RT!

I haven't done any testing myself yet, but if it is so, it's pretty ... 
ehm  Our company paind 700 USD for /Command, which does not seem to 
be up-to-date enough to compete with free implementation? I think that

Hi,

Command (2.0 and up) have built-in Mysql support ;-)
I have used it extensively under Linux, but

- strange errors in datatype conversion sometimes happen
- it is *slow*

OTOH: DocKimbel (Reb/sites/DocKimbel) made a tcp based
mysql driver that runs on Core 2.5! It is up to 30 times faster and
has *no* problems I know off. You can simple 'do' it to replace the
built-in Command implementation, and it has the same way of calling.

HTH,

Maarten

I drive a MS SQL Server 2000 box with Core via SQL Server 2000's built-in
HTTP and XML support.

It's a wonderful thing.  You can do everything you want with SQL commands
over HTTP, get result-sets back as XML documents, and you can setup XML
documents on the server side that contain queries, XSLT transforms, etc.
