ODBC Classes

ODBC is a cross-platform standard for accessing databases, so it's natural for wxWidgets to provide support for it. Using wxODBC, you can access a wide variety of databases including DB2, DBase, Firebird, INFORMIX, Interbase, MS SQL Server, MS Access, MySQL, Oracle, Pervasive SQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase, XBase, Sequiter, and VIRTUOSO. The main wxODBC classes are wxDb and wxDbTable. For more information, see "Database Classes Overview" in the wxWidgets reference manual. See also samples/db and demos/dbbrowse (see Figure D-7). You may also be interested in reusing the generic tab and page controls that are part of this demo.
