Is it possible to use LLBL with non-standard, and proprietary data storage by implementing customer database drivers? Any words of caution, or encouragement?

For example, how feasible is it to implement custom database drivers for the following: - An application that uses Active Directory as a data store - An application that uses a proprietary text file system to store information.

Thanks for any info

Not easy, unfortunalty. It is possible to create new drivers to talk to new database servers (some work has been done before on an Informix driver, for example), but it does rely on the existing database server being able to provide the required meta-data. This has proved to be difficult/unreliable even for some databases (VistaDB) for example, and is all but impossible for datasources other than RDBMS...

That is a shame. Thanks for the info.

No problem - HTH.
