[Caml-list] Database?

[Caml-list] Database?

[Johann Spies]

I am fairly new to ocaml - have looked at it a few months ago and now
I want to write a program for a researcher.  The program will analyse
a lot of data.  I will be developing the program on Linux and most of
the users will be Windows users.

On Linux, I would use postgresql as the database backend but
postgresql would not run on all the windows systems.  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.
