LPC Consulting Services provides ODBTalk, a product which allows the Smalltalk
developer to interface to ODBC-compliant data sources. It provides a common
way for applications to access many databases concurrently, and to add or move
to other databases in the future with minimal changes to the application code.
The full ODBC SDK 2.1 specification is supported - core, levels 1 and level 2.

There is an OO->RDBMS mapping framework which automates the process of
developing Smalltalk applications interfacing to relational databases, using
the concept of types and brokers.  It provides automatic retrieval and
instantiation of objects mapped to a relational database as well as update,
delete and insert capabilities.  Visual programming components are included
with the Digitalk Visual Smalltalk and IBM VisualAge versions.

ODBTalk includes online help, programming examples (including a sample
application), and full source code.  Executables developed with ODBTalk can be
distributed royalty-free.  You may return ODBTalk within 30 days for a full
refund.

You can develop Smalltalk database access logic once for all of the major
Intel-based PC environments, since  ODBTalk is fully source-code compatible
among Windows 16-bit, Win32s, Windows-NT and OS/2.  You can also easily reuse
database access logic among the major PC Smalltalk environments -
Digitalk, IBM and ParcPlace, all of which are supported by ODBTalk.

For more detailed information on ODBTalk, send an email to kfindlay@ican.ca
which has the text "ODBTalk info" in the subject.  You may also want to check
out our web site at http://www.rwi.com/lpc/,  and the complete doucmentation for
ODBTalk is avilable for downloading from our FTP site at the University of
Illinois - ftp.st.cs.uiuc.edu in directory /pub/Smalltalk/LPC.  View the index
