Using a commercial SDK, we’re able to offer cross platform (Linux, Win 32/64, MacOS) and full SQL support.Some more details here: http://www.aquaq.co.uk/q/kdb-odbc-client/Jamie

Hello Jamie,

I'm trying to develop Windows Applications that connect to a Linux Kdb+ Server using Embarcadero C++ Builder 10.2. 

I have a connection operational using ADO components to the older Odbc driver but it's capabilities appear very limited with "invalid Command" or "memory Allocation" errors being generated for anything but a simple select query on a very simple and small table.

I have been unable to get the Kx Odbc3 driver working at all.

Any chance of getting a copy of your Odbc driver to experiment with?"

Regards, Andrew

Jamie,

Will your driver support the q) prefix to sql commands and will it support executing q functions in queries?

The old Odbc driver supports q) but it's really not useful without being able to execute q functions.
