[BDB 11gR2 Beta] Berkeley DB 11gR2 Beta release -- new Beta release [#18297]

[Dave Segleau]

Diego,

Thanks for the feedback from ASTI.

With regards to Visual Basic .NET, we have not spent a lot of time 
testing the available open source ADO .NET drivers for SQLite. However, 
like other aspects of SQLite, it should "just work" if compiled and 
linked properly with the BDB 11gR2 library. There are many drivers and 
APIs that are available for SQLite. We can't commit to testing and 
supporting them all. If we get enough demand from customers, then we can 
certainly consider adding one to the list of tested/supported APIs, but 
for the first release of BDB 11gR2, we're focused on the SQLite 
sqlite3() API, JDBC and ODBC.

There are several BASIC APIs that work with SQLite listed on 
http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=SqliteWrappers

Basically, a user who wants to use one of these APIs should download it, 
review the build instructions, make sure to build and link the API with 
the BDB 11gR2 library and try it out. It should work. We'd be very 
interested in hearing their feedback. We'll try to help if we can, but 
we can't guarantee that it will work or that we'll have the bandwidth to 
investigate and resolve any issues that they run into.

Any additional thoughts from the BDB SQL support team? Has anyone on the 
team tried any of these?

Regards,

Dave
