Yes, probably similar to Oracle.<br>

For the Oracle provider we have a modified QOCI driver that is built with QGIS
when it's dependencies are available, but that usually not the case on
platforms other than (osgeo4)Windows either.</pre>

How do you build the driver? Does it end up being a new QGIS
executable or does it just create an additional DLL with the QOCI
driver?<br>
We want to avoid requiring end-users to build complete QGIS from
source - it is hard enough for experienced developers to get this to
work ;-)<br>
<br>
We've managed to build the Qt QDB2 driver DLL but have not been
successful in having a Qt application load it.<br>
