Made to Order Software now uses the ODBC library with its modb library
(which is part of our molib product.)
Unfortunately, it is not only written in C, it generates many errors.
Actually, every single function has the potential of returning an error.
For this reason, using the C interface is simply not a safe option.
For this reason, Alexis Wilke, our CEO, wrote an C++ wrapper called odbcpp.
It encapsulates all the necessary ODBC calls to access any ODBC compatible
database.
The odbcpp library ensures the proper management of all the resources for
you. It allocates and frees the handles as required. It prevents you from
calling certain functions before others (for instance, you cannot send an
SQL order before you connect to a database.) And it manages the data
records in a very C++ oriented way, which is much safer than using direct
buffer pointers and lengths.
And best of all, this library is protected under the
GPL.
This means you can download it right now, test it and see for yourself
whether it works or not. It is available on the SourceForge.net website.
