I am happy to announce, that APQ-2.1 with win32 support, is now
available. It comes complete with a GUI self installer, thanks
to the folks at Nullsoft Scriptable Install System
(See http://nsis.sourceforge.net/site/index.php).
APQ is a client level Ada95 thick binding to Databases.
At the present time, APQ provides native support for:
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
but other databases may be supported in the future.
The binary win32 APQ-2.1 release can be installed with a
few mouse clicks by opening:
http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3wwg/APQ-2.1.EXE
The installer is "GNAT aware", and will install APQ along
side GNAT's Win32Ada binding. As a result, your APQ
client programs will automatically link with it as required.
An uninstaller is included, for those who just want to
give it a whirl.
A test program win32_test.adb is included in the above
install. The test program only requires you to:
1. Choose database support by uncommenting "with"
statement.
2. Edit in your account and password
3. Edit in your database name
4. gnatmake win_test
5. .\win_test
This program will create a table TEST_TBL, insert
a few rows, and then perform a select on the table.
A full APQ-2.1 source release is also available from:
http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3wwg/apq-2.1.tar.gz
This includes a win32.pdf file with instructions for building
the win32 release. The APQ pdf manual is also included.
APQ-2.1 UNIX/Linux Enhancement:
-------------------------------
You no longer are required to provide library linker arguments.
The compile:
$ gnatmake win_test -largs -lapq ...for db...
is now simply:
$ gnatmake win_test
The win32 port works the same way, thanks to GNAT pragmas.
Don't Forget the www.adaworld.com Forum for APQ
