liblookdb is a C++ library that provides an interface to several common Database Management Systems (DBMS). liblookdb library enables the programmer to write application code that can be built and run unchanged on a variety of platforms and against several DBMS.
It is currently in use in production code on Win32, GNU/Linux and Compaq Tru64 UNIX, against Ingres II (and older versions), Oracle 8i, PostgreSQL and ODBC (on Win32 only at present). An application can choose which DBMS interface layer to load at runtime.
Currently Supported Platforms
· Ingres
· PostgreSQL
· Oracle
· Perl/DBI
Here are some key features of "liblookdb":
· Database Independence.
· Platform Independence.
· Runtime selection of DBMS.
· Multiple Managed Connections (circumventing the most common need for nested transactions).
· Supports many datatypes including null-handling and string conversions.
Requirements:
· In order to use liblookdb you need a reasonably modern C++ compiler and standard library, plus a development environment for at least one of the supported DBMS platforms. For UNIX and GNU/Linux, LOOK Systems uses GCC, version 2.95.2 or later. (liblookdb has been built and tested with GCC 3.0.1 on Linux without problem, but a GCC 3.0.x build has not been used in an production environment, at the time of writing.) For Win32, Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 and above will suffice. (Project files for 5.0 are supplied.)
