How to write my own sdbc driver all example files can be found in connectivity/workben/skeleton Pre implementation steps - copy all files from connectivity/workben/skeleton into your new created directory under connectivity/source/drivers and rename the first char of the files to one which isn't used so far ( please have a look at the other drivers ) - search all occurances of skeleton and replace them to a name which you prefer 1. Implement a class called driver or modify the existing skeleton -> have a look at SDriver.?xx 2. Implement a class called connection -> have a look at SConnection.?xx 3. Have a look at the DatabaseMetaData -> see SDatabaseMetaData.cxx The methods which should be implemented at least are - getTableTypes - getTables - getTypeInfo - getColumns 4. You need a statement to show/access some data -> have a look at SStatement.cxx -> especially executeQuery() 5. The ResultSet: without you see nothing -> look at SResultSet.cxx 6. The ResultSetMetaData needed to get some information about what are waiting for us -> look at SResultSetMetaData.cxx 7. The prepared statement is the last class we have to implement now -> you have to allow statements like "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = ?" 8. insert entry in version.mk # ----------------------------SKELETON settings-----------------------------------# # target SKELETON_TARGET=skeleton # the major SKELETON_MAJOR=2 # the minor SKELETON_MINOR=0 # the micro SKELETON_MICRO=0 # this is a c++ compatible library SKELETON_CPP=1 SKELETON=$(SKELETON_TARGET_TARGET)_$(CMPEXT) 9. copy dll to program dir of office and register the dll 10. congratulations you have now implement your own driver :-)
