INFO: Visual FoxPro/Mac and Mac ODBC Drivers from InterSolv

 Last reviewed: April 1, 1997

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SUMMARY

Currently Visual FoxPro for the Macintosh does not work with the ODBC Oracle drivers from Intersolv.

MORE INFORMATION

Intersolv's 68 K Oracle driver is Macintosh-based, while the Oracle client software is PowerPC-based. Because of the system software requirement differences, a Visual FoxPro for the Macintosh 68 K Runtime Application either does not make a connection or locks up the 68 K machine.

Intersolv is working on an Oracle ODBC driver for the PowerPC. When the driver is released, it should work with the PowerPC Oracle client software, and a Visual FoxPro application compiled for the PowerPC will be able to access a Oracle server via the Remote Connection features. At this time, the PowerMac version of Visual FoxPro for the Macintosh does not see Intersolv 68 K drivers.
