myodbc & iodbc

Does myodbc not works with iodbc any more ?

I can't compile version 3.51.12. If falls with error:
MYODBCUtil.h:43:22: odbcinst.h: No such file or directory

It's because in version 3.51.12 myodbc ignores HAVE_IODBCINST_H
For example, util/MYODBCUtil.h in 3.51.12 has

#include

but in 3.51.11:

# if defined(HAVE_IODBCINST_H)
#include
#elif defined(HAVE_ODBCINST_H)
#include
# endif

Is any reason for removing HAVE_IODBCINST_H checks ?

iODBC folks started changing the names of the include files to be same
as eveyone else but for some reason has left iodbcinst.h out. Please
consider making a request with the iODBC folks to have this corrected.

Also keep in kind that we do recommend unixODBC on Linux/UNIX as this is
what we develop with.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having both unixODBC and iODBC
on the same box? Duplicate drivers? Duplicate config files? Would software
built against iODBC be able to access unixODBC drivers and vice-versa?

Cheers,

Chris

For most people there is no difference - in both cases all the basics
are there. I happen to think unixODBC is a better way to go but I have
to admit I may be a bit biased as I started that project and remain one
of the two principle developers (Nick Gorham being the other).

In theory they are binary compatible - but one thing you must try to
avoid is having both on the same system - its asking for trouble.

Note: I see a mac.com email address so I have to add that iODBC is the
driver manager and sdk we work with on OSX as Apple ships it (err - well
a version of it anyway).

That makes sense.

Indeed, which is partly why I asked - your earlier recommendation of
unixODBC on "UNIX" seems a bit simplistic given your comment above.
(Assuming you agree that OS X is a UNIX.)

Anyway, thanks for the clarification!

Cheers,

Chris
