How does SQL Relay compare to ODBC, JDBC, Perl::DBI, PHP::ADODB, Ruby::DBI or PythonDB?
This is sort of an apples-to-oranges comparison. These API’s are primarily targeted as abstraction layers and make no attempt to improve application performance. They are in many ways more full featured than the SQL Relay client API’s. SQL Relay currently supports Perl::DBI, Ruby::DBI and PythonDB on the API side and ODBC on the database connection side. An ODBC API for SQL Relay is on the TODO list.
