Welcome to the libdbutil site!

This site contains information about getting, installing and using libdbutil, the dynamic SQL generation library. The library was designed to allow developers to quickly and easily add dynamic SQL to applications accessing SQL database backends. The library generates ANSI compliant SQL which works with many relational database systems; MySQL, Postgresql, Informix, Oracle and many others. The library removes the need to hand code SQL statements within an application, leaving more time to concentrate on other development tasks and requires less effort to make changes should the application's data model need to be modified.

News

(09-09-2001) Work has begun on version 0.9.0, which is based on Glib/Gtk 2.0. The library builds okay and basic tests seem to indicate that nothing has broken. The library now requires that PkgConfig be installed, for dependancy configuration, which seems to work well. Additions to this version will include support for the new GtkTreeView widget and support for field value placeholders within the generated SQL. The placeholder support is needed for passing text or BLOB field data to the database server. This version will be put into the CVS repository shortly.

(09-03-2001) v0.7.0p1 Some problems were found during the build process, in which the proper include directories for glib were not being passed to the compiler. This has been fixed and the changes were commited to CVS.
