Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Vembu Technologies automatic SQL dialect translation

well, it WAS announced april 1 :)

if they're serious though there's a number of problems I'd be curious about

* they say they support MySQL, so does that mean all the sql they generate is at that lowest common denominator?
* I don't see anything about converting procedural language...  just doing "standard" queries isn't very impressive, especially with how ANSI-compliant the big names are getting lately
* the only other thing that would impress me is if they did some kind of autoconversion of queries that accessed system catalogues and I strongly doubt they do that either

If you take a look by all means post but I don't see anything that gets my hopes up.  (Another point of evidence is, if they solved any REALLY tough problem they'd charge a lot more than $150 for it. :)
