Do not read this sign.
Has there ever been an ODBC-equivalent on Macs? You know, a way to abstract the database from the programs that use them?

What about ODBC for Unix: does anyone know anything about that?

I was about to tinker with some Objective-C wrappers for the mySQL API, but then thought better about it.

OpenLink provides both ODBC and JDBC drivers for the Mac, as well as an Open Source ODBC SDK (iODBC.org) to enable application binding. We have provided ODBC on the Mac since our inception, and continue to have a strong committment to the Mac OS.

OpenLink supports connectivity from any Mac, either OS 9 or OS X, to many back end systems including most Unix, Windows, and Linux servers running SQLServer, Oracle, Sybase, DB2, Informix, Progres, Postgres, Ingres, etc.

All of the drivers download with a free non-expiring 2-user license, and can be obtained from www.openlinksw.com.

Free support is also available at:

JDBC: Java Database Connectivity. It's an API for connecting to data sources from within Java without constraining yourself to a particular vendor.
