Hi there!
I'm new to FUDforum, currently exploring the depth of the data directory, including the sql sub-directory.
What I would like to know is whether anyone ever has used the odbc layer to connect to a database.
Or is this impossible due to any design issues in FUDforum?
What I would like to do in particular is use FUDforum with dbms like Informix or SapDB. Comments appreciated!
Stephan

All of the code inside the forum utilizes FUDforum's database abstraction layer with the exception of upgrade/install scripts that in some cases simply have swtiches for each type of a database. The sql/db_type/ contains the database structure in addition to db.inc file that is the wrapper around the native database functions.
If you write support for let's say odbc you will then need to modify upgrade/install scripts to also support odbc. Although for the most part upgrade script uses database abstraction layer as well, with the exception of the code responsible for SQL table upgrading.
