Dear all,

I am seeking any old SQL98 (OID/OIB) driver for Progress 8.x (8.3E, really).

Could anyone upload it here? Or tell me how/where to find it?

I'm kind of desperate, seriously.

Thanks a million guys.

PS: I cannot use the modern openlinkws/datadirect|sequelink drivers.

+1. V8 dates back to the mid-90s of the last century. I doubt that you can just download it somehwere. The only resource - if any - would be technical support from Progress.

Plus, the V8 database does not have an SQL92 engine. In V8 Progress utilized the concept of an OIB ( Open Interface Broker ). As far as I remember it was a seperate process which you needed to start against the database and which provided connectivity for SQL clients. As far as I remember ( again, since it is 20 years ago as I did something with that ) only SQL89 was supported.

Heavy Regards, RealHeavyDude.
