Piccoro, I want to give you for free my two cents on this issue.

As I see it, Gambas is a free-to-use language. Free and "as is". *No
guarantees*. It means, take it, or leave it.

It was developed and made available by a volunteer with the eventual help
of other volunteers. So, I can't understand why you insist in saying things
like "gambas [has] not enough support and vision!".

I don't think this is a nice thing to say when you have free lunch. The
least I can say is that you should not look a gift horse in the mouth. Or,
as the Romans used to say, "Noli equi dentes inspicere donati". This can be
translated to plain English (I think) as  "don't be ungrateful when you
receive a gift.

If you need a good ODBC interface and Gambas doesn't provide it, perhaps
you can develop it yourself and make it available for other people that may
have the same need. That would be much appreciated, I am sure.

Otherwise, you can use other available libraries (I am sure there are many).
If neither is attractive to you, then you can give up Gambas and try
something different.

I think saying Gambas has not "enough support and vision" is not a good way
to obtain what you want.

Those are my two cents. After that, I'll shut my mouth up as far as this
issue is concerned.

Best regards
