Hi,
Quick 2 cents worth…
Quovadx provide an extension to Tcl that allows ODBC calls to be made using the Tcl language. The package also includes a set of ODBC drivers from Data Direct (Merant). If you use Tcl then this is a good option and we use it at a number of different hospital sites.
On the other hand if you are using Java for your upocs then JDBC is a good option because there is no need to purchase the extension library from Quovadx but you will need to either find a free or open source JDBC driver or purchase one.
I haven’t used JDBC is Cloverleaf because we have standardised on Tcl for our upocs and when you purchase the library to also purchase support which was very useful when we first started. Having said that I use Java and JDBC for my personal projects and I’m quite happy with the features and performance.
Regards
Garry
