[Glass] ODBC to GemStone and ODBC from GemStone

[Johan Brichau]

Hi Mariano,

For your information: in Yesplan, we use Jasper reports to produce reports. 
Data is exchanged between Gemstone and Jasper reports via a CSV-formatted data over an http connection.

It was supposed to be included in some version of GemStone. This "ODBC" you were talking about was NOT an ODBC client as I imagined, but the other way around: that any ODBC client from any language could query GemStone. So first question, was this released? what is the satus?
