Progress and design questions #1

I have a couple of quesions: 1) Is there a place other than this site where one can track the progress of this proposal? 2) The current proposal basically wrrps the native libraries of the respective databases. Is this correct? If so, I was wondering what obstacles are there for taking the jdbc Thin Client approach. i.e. communicate with a sql engine through its native sql protocol; no need for large native client libraries. This makes deployment of database client applications much easier.

Hi!

Ad 1.) The offical SG11 forum where proposals like mine are discussed: https://groups.google.com/a/isocpp.org/forum/#!forum/databases

Currently there is no progress, because of lack of time and interrest from the community.

Ad 2.) I hardly know jdbc, but if it works similar to ODBC its also nothing like a common layer around different client libraries. So that won't safe you from deploying/installing the client libraries for the database servers you want to support.
