ODBC Documentation under AC18

Anonymous — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 07:52:42 GMT

Is there new ODBC documentation available? I could not find any in "AC18 ODBC Installer (3006).zip" or in "API DevKit Win (3006).tar.gz"

The last documentation I can find if for AC16, and this still has help-page headings with "ArchiCAD 12" on them and shows ODBC DSN creation from some old Windows OS that I can't remember anymore. How about some updated docs? How about addressing some of the ins and outs of 64-bit environment?

Hi Didrik,

at this point we don't have a more up-to-date guide than the v16 version. I requested one that covers all new areas.

Thanks for the added voice on this, Marton. It would be nice if COUNT(), SUM(), and some of the other SQL92 commands were supported. Similarly, support for effective and easy querying of values of parameters in fields that are parameter tables would be welcome. I'm thinking of OBJECTS.PARAMETERS whose data types are GDLVARIANT. It's good that GS SQL supports a recognized well-established standard such as SQL92. What comes as a surprise, however, is that GS SQL supports only a small subset of SQL92. And of course SQL92 is already 22 years old.
