SQL Server bug

[Phi]

Hey,
Just came across an bug with SQL Server object: it doesn't report a connection string or error if the database is valid and the user has no permissions on the database. if there's any error at all.
Made me suspect the entire thing was useless for a while, so it'd be good if that was fixed.
Cheers,
Φ

I was looking at resurrecting this object as a new build. Not sure if Byo would donate (if he still has the code), ODBC is the only other solution that isn't as performant (pretty) as the old client DLL method.
If anyone can track him down and get any info on this it would help otherwise starting from scratch. Probably with a SQL server 17/19 based client.

In recent years, I rolled my own SQL object, called SQL ODBC.
If you're a Darkwire patron, you can acquire it ^.^

Does it work with MMF 2.5+ Dev?

Yeah, my exts use WinXP+, Fusion 2.0+ SDK. So that includes all the way to Win11 and 2.5+ Dev.

Hello, there.

I've been away from the community for so long that I no longer have access to the extension SDKs to download (lol).
I'm currently on my way back to extension development because of a recent job for contracted extensions.

It's been a while since I made that extension and it was unfortunately tested against a rather limited version set in the past.
To be honest, I didn't have enough machines to test it against, SQL Server versions or volunteers to help me debug. So it was roughly an initial release.
I didn't think it'd be ever used in a professional project so I left it at that.

I intend to revisit all of my database extensions as they all use native drivers but it may take some time.
It's great to be back.

I was probably the one and only user of that SQL object and it was a fantastic object at the time..well over a decade ago now but I can no longer install it because I have the Steam version of Dev 2.5 and the old installer just doesn't work.
The object would probably need rebuilding to support a recent SQL driver but I would totally reuse this object as it just worked out of the box for me and I did use this in live environment to handle a simple windows client that got Windows machine details and posted into (Altiris) MSSQL db. My current work would so benefit from being able to connect to MSSQL so I would gladly help in developing a new build of it if you are working on this.
