What are the > alternatives when using ocaml to write this program with? You could use MySQL on Windows, and access your database through the MySQL ODBC driver (with MyODBC). See http://www.mysql.com for MySQL and (for example) http://maxence.guesdon.free.fr for the OCamlODBC library. I never tried MySQL nor OCamlODBC on Windows so let me know if you manage to use it. I may help you if you encounter some problems. -- Maxence Guesdon ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr. Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
