Anything come of this? It was announced at IOD this week that a Mac port of IDS is in progress, targeted for the next point release of Cheetah expected next year. Regards Guy |
That rocks....
I hope they release a free Express version and put it out at all the
Universities.
I have been reading about many College stores selling more Macs than
PCs.
It would be interesting to prime the waters with IDS at that low level.
Too bad it is not feasible to con Apple to install it in Leopard as a
default software, like perl.

It's not IDS Express, but it's a good start.

Because it is a new market where DB2 has no presence, perhaps?  ?

From: "Art S. Kagel" <art.kagel (AT) gmail (DOT) com Someone else just posted this. A free IDS 11.10 Developer's addition with easy to find links to the CSDK and iConnect modules on the download page to boot: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data...ids/developer/ It's not IDS Express, but it's a good start.

Only problem. Its missing python.
No offense to Jonathan L, but Python much nicer and better than perl.
I think C Hasse ?sp? is doing a bang up job on the informix connection piece
even though I haven't really had time to play with it. (I'm stuck using
cx_Oracle which blows!)
But getting back to the issue at hand, an IDS port to Apple's Mach (OS-X)
isn't going to be done for the masses. There is definitely a reason for the
port.

Sorry if that statement is a bit cryptic. Those who know me, who my current
client is, and something about my past might understand what I am referring
to.

I agree that Python is better than Perl, and IMHO Python is better than
PHP, too. I wish IBM were putting as much support behind Python as they
are putting behind PHP. Well, at least they link to my SourceForge page
from the IDS page, and that's better than nothing.

that he could develop away from his office. Also university students. It
would be moderately useful to me. I'm not sure how big the market is for
IDS on OSX server.
I suppose the question could be "why not?" if it's doesn't take too much
developer time to port across.
Ben.

follow through with Tiger ending, for the second time, their fainted
hearted move into the enterprise data center. There are rumors that the
internal battles at Apple have led them to again make the move and that
Oracle 11g will have support for the MacOS but there is nothing
official.
It would be great if Apple finally decided it wasn't just a consumer
products company because they have some of the best servers around.
