databases/unixodbc - ODBC 2.x/3.x driver manager
The unixODBC project provides UNIX applications with the same ODBC 3.51 API and facilities available under MS Windows. It provides a Driver Manager that supports the full ODBC API and performs the ODBC 3 to ODBC 2 translations with UNICODE to ANSI conversion. It also includes a collection of ODBC drivers including a simple text-based driver, an NNTP driver, a Postgres driver and others, and a selection of templates and libraries that to aid in the construction of ODBC drivers. It works with MySQL, Postgres, StarOffice, Applixware, iHTML, PHP, Perl DBD::ODBC, Paradox 9, and many other applications and drivers. Connection pooling is also provided to increase performance with applications such as PHP.
