I like sockets, myself. ODBC is ok. OCI is ugly but it gets the job done. These all have stood the test of millions of lines of code. Microsoft's object-like database interfaces look good from 10' going 20mph., but always have implementation problems. Object frameworks are either too big (er, MFC) or seem to solve somebody else's problem, or you are using SAP/Baan/Peoplesoft. Usually I kill two birds and write wrapper classes around the API: both to provide API insulation and make the app code easier to read and harder to goof up. A talented C++ programmer can make it look just like Java! Does SAX support the notion of a low-level/full-control interface with high-level/app-safe layers over it? Is this what filters do? Does anyone have a pointer to a conceptual overview of the SAX object hierarchy? regards, Charlie Charles Reitzel Independent Consultant creitzel@m... xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
