Peter,
I am looking forward to see your ideas implemented :)

BTW, At some level ODBC is a subject of research within Kexi, by Sharan Rao.
The goal here is not only to develop 1-to-1 frontend for unixODBC, which would
be rather straightforward (but still a lot of work and testing), but also some
interfaces that can enable interaction of ODBC layer with data definition and
data access interfaces like Predicate (aka KexiDB v2).

Yes, an integrated frontend would be cool. The current ones for linux
are, well, not
very friendly to me:/

And the kexi-odbc bridge is being done :). perhaps I will move the
code to the repository this weekend.
damn, heap seems to be full and can't malloc any free time :P.

Cheers!
