Mr. Gillespie has agreed to present his ODBC presentation on September
9th (which was originally scheduled for July 29th, but he was unable to
make it).  The GNUCash presentation scheduled for this date has been
postponed until it becomes clearer how some issues with the GNUCash
project will shake out.

2003-09-09 - ODBC  
ODBC is an open API for accessing databases of all shapes and sizes
through a layer of libraries and drivers. The API was created by
Microsoft to be cross-platform... of course MS wouldn't think of writing
the ports to Unix theirselves so enter unixODBC. unixODBC is more than a
standards-compliant port of the ODBC API to Unix platforms, it also
includes many of the enhancements Microsoft supports. So pick your
favorite OS and join me as we walk through the world of platform
independent database connectivity.  
Erik Gillespie is a recent graduate from Western Michigan University
with a degree in Computer Science. He has a keen interest in all walks
of software development for the PC but holds a particular joy for
graphics programming and development on non-PC platforms. When not at
his computer he can be found hanging out with friends or spending the
day with his little sister.
