Re: [Bug-apl] ⎕SQL

I can help with MySQL/MariaDB

I have a C++ class made by myself more than 10 years ago (still compile fine in 
2017).

It may be a starting point. well we can discuss that. I can provide the source 
to help you if needed.

Yes Oracle interface is awful, I know. And it always near depend on version of 
the server.

About MS SQL, I don't know of any API available on Unix, able to connect to it. 
It's proprietary Microsoft API, I think
and really fine with me ;-)  As usual, I may be wrong.

Xtian.
