You can read about the current version at <http://mangomultimedia.com/ developer/revolution/libDatabase_article.html>.
This version adds a number a couple of things:
1) Support for converting from one database to another. For example, one call creates a SQLite or Valentina database from your MySQL db.
2) Supports binary data using binding in revdb (prefix field names with *b)
3) Supports "mapping" of encodings. The library can optionally map mac to iso, utf8 to utf16, ansi to utf16 and ansi to ut8 when fetching/updating/adding records.
4) There are functions for "translating" between different sql dialects (Thanks to Len Morgan for the idea). Currently there are functions for translating create and insert statements.
So far the library has been tested with MysQL, SQLite and Valentina. Right now there is support for converting from MySQL to SQLite or Valentina but the framework is in place to support any type of conversions that one would care to code.
There have been a lot of changes under the hood so I'm looking for anyone interested in testing the library out and providing any feedback. If you use PostgreSQL and would like to test things out then we should be able to get PostgreSQL working with the database conversion functions as well.
Anyhow, if you are interested then drop me a line off-list.
