things are not this simle on unix - 3rd party odbc drivers need to be purchased , installed & configured. I have never worked with a client who has gone this route, it never seems to be worth the bother & expense.

I've written stuff to read from a SQL database into UniBasic using the BCI. There's no conceptual difference between reading & writing, it's just a matter of using a SQL INSERT or MODIFY instead of a SELECT in the string passed to SQL. I do have some doubts about how to set up transactions to allow simultaneous SQL & UV updates, but that's functionality we don't need yet. The BCI documentation is sparse and the example code execrable, but it does work and performance is not too bad, either. UV 10.0.15 to MS SQL Server 2000, all on Windows, using the MS SQL Server driver. Mike > > We're on HP-UX.
