INFO: Visual FoxPro/Mac and Mac ODBC Drivers from InterSolv (166127)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh 3.0b
This article was previously published under Q166127

SUMMARY

Currently Visual FoxPro for the Macintosh does not work with the ODBC Oracle drivers from Intersolv.

MORE INFORMATION

Intersolv's 68 K Oracle driver is Macintosh-based, while the Oracle client software is PowerPC-based. Because of the system software requirement differences, a Visual FoxPro for the Macintosh 68 K Runtime Application either does not make a connection or locks up the 68 K machine.

Intersolv is working on an Oracle ODBC driver for the PowerPC. When the driver is released, it should work with the PowerPC Oracle client software, and a Visual FoxPro application compiled for the PowerPC will be able to access a Oracle server via the Remote Connection features. At this time, the PowerMac version of Visual FoxPro for the Macintosh does not see Intersolv 68 K drivers.
