4
+
5
+ This is an ODBC binding for Ruby. So far it has been tested with
6
+
7
+ - Ruby 1.[6-9], MySQL 3.22/MyODBC (local), unixODBC 2.1.0
8
+ on Linux 2.2-x86 and 2.6-x86_64
9
+
10
+ - Ruby 1.6.4, MySQL 3.22/MyODBC (local), libiodbc 2.50
11
+ on Linux 2.2-x86
12
+
13
+ - Ruby 1.[6-8], MySQL 3.22/MyODBC (remote), MS Jet Engine, MSVC++ 6.0
14
+ on Windows NT4SP6
15
+
16
+ - Ruby 1.6.[3-5], MySQL 3.22/MyODBC (remote), MS Jet Engine, cygwin,
17
+ on Windows NT4SP6 and 2000
18
+
19
+ - Ruby 1.8.*, SQLite/ODBC >= 0.67, libiodbc 3.52.4 on Fedora Core 3 x86
20
+
21
+ Michael Neumann <neumann@s-direktnet.de> and
22
+ Will Merrell <wmerrell@catalystcorp.com> reported successful compilation
23
+ with Cygwin on Win32.
24
+
25
+ Requirements:
26
+
27
+ - Ruby 1.6.[3-8] or Ruby >= 1.7
28
+ - unixODBC 2.x or libiodbc 3.52 on UN*X
29
+
30
+ Installation:
31
+
32
+ $ ruby -Cext extconf.rb [--enable-dlopen|--disable-dlopen]
33
+ $ make -C ext
34
+ # make -C ext install
35
+
36
+ --enable/disble-dlopen turns on/off special initialization
37
+ code to make ruby-odbc agnostic to unixODBC/iODBC driver
38
+ manager shared library names when GCC is used for compile.
39
+ In cases where unixODBC or iODBC is installed in non-standard
40
+ locations, use the option --with-odbc-dir=<non-standard-location>
41
+ when running extconf.rb
42
+
43
+ Installation of utf8 version:
44
+
45
+ $ ruby -Cext/utf8 extconf.rb [--enable-dlopen|--disable-dlopen]
46
+ $ make -C ext/utf8
47
+ # make -C ext/utf8 install
48
+
49
+ Installation MSVC:
50
+
51
+ C:..>ruby -Cext extconf.rb
52
+ C:..>cd ext
53
+ C:..>nmake
54
+ C:..>nmake install
55
+ C:..>ruby -Cutf8 extconf.rb
56
+ C:..>cd utf8
57
+ C:..>nmake
58
+ C:..>nmake install
59
+
60
+ Testing:
61
+
62
+ $ ruby -Ctest test.rb DSN [uid] [pwd]
63
+ or
64
+ $ ruby -KU -Ctest/utf8 test.rb DSN [uid] [pwd]
65
+
66
+ Usage:
67
+
68
+ Refer to doc/odbc.html
69
+
70
+ The difference between utf8 and non-utf8 versions are:
71
+
72
+ - non-utf8 version uses normal SQL.* ANSI functions
73
+ - utf8 version uses SQL.*W UNICODE functions and
74
+ requires/returns all strings in UTF8 format
75
+
76
+ Thus, depending on the -K option of ruby one could use
77
+ that code snippet:
78
+
79
+ ...
80
+ if $KCODE == "UTF8" then
81
+ require 'odbc_utf8'
82
+ else
83
+ require 'odbc'
84
+ fi
85
+
86
+ It is also possible to load both non-utf8 and utf8 version
87
+ into ruby:
88
+
89
+ ...
90
+ # non-utf8 version
91
+ require 'odbc'
92
+ # utf8 version
93
+ require 'odbc_utf8'
94
+
95
+ Whichever is loaded first, gets the module name 'ODBC'.
96
+ The second loaded module will be named 'ODBC_UTF8' (for
97
+ 'odbc_utf8') or 'ODBC_NONE' (for 'odbc'). That should
98
+ allow to use both versions simultaneously in special
99
+ situations.

103
+ - heavier testing
104
