Data Hub - ODBC / JDBC access for those inflicted with a Mac

Hi

Wondering whether the Data Hub could be tweaked to provide ODBC / JDBC connectors; primarily to permit those inflicted with a Mac, and an unwillingness to dual boot / VM, to access a few non SQL DB's?

Regards, Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I'm not sure owning a Mac counts as an affliction! Although ceaselessly evangelising Apple products can be a debilitating social disease. :-)

If you're asking whether or not you can connect to a remote Data Hub from an Apple client then you can just use the MySQL 5.1 ODBC and JDBC drivers. Although for ODBC, steer clear of versions 5.1.7 and 5.1.8 because they had a bug that truncated table names to 2 characters. :-(

Cheers,
Greg.
