No, it is not a file format or such, it is an application interface for database access. We use ODBC drivers for Oracle and DB/2 at work.

Coping with ODBC seems to be a science of its own, alas. Regards, Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
