The install includes a sample win32_test.adb program for your own testing pleasure, and a complete PDF manual for the APQ API. Win32 users can compile APQ from sources, but it requires a number of tools, including the Microsoft C compiler. Additionally, there are a number of pitfalls that make the process less than elegant. For this reason, win32 users are encouraged to install the APQ binaries, using the GUI installer provided. The installer includes an uninstaller, for those that just want to test drive APQ. Linux/UNIX users will find it easy to compile and install from sources. Visit http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3wwg and click on the APQ link that is prominently displayed there for more details and downloading. Also, checkout the APQ in the www.adaworld.com "Projects' Forum" for further discussions about APQ and future developments. WHAT IS APQ? APQ is a thick Ada95 binding to the native drivers for PostgreSQL and MySQL database products (no ODBC required). Using an OO framework, you can easily write code that performs SQL operations on your favourite database platform. A complete PDF manual is provided. Almost all API operations include an example program fragment. WHAT IS NEXT FOR APQ? The next release will include support for Sybase Adapative Server Enterprise 12.5. -- Warren W.
