<h2>Overview</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
LuaSQL is a simple interface from Lua to a DBMS.
|
||
It enables a Lua program to:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li> Connect to ODBC and PostgreSQL databases;
|
||
<li> Execute arbitrary SQL statements;
|
||
<li> Retrieve results in a row-by-row cursor fashion.
|
||
</ul>

|
||
<p>
|
||
LuaSQL version 2.0 (for Lua 5.0) is now available for
|
||

|
||
The PostgreSQL driver
|
||
has been tested on Linux and MacOS X,
|
||
and the ODBC driver has been tested on Windows
|
||
(SQLServer and Microsoft Access drivers) and
|
||
on Linux (Linux ODBC Informix driver).

<h2><a name=hist>History</h2>
|
||
|
||
LuaSQL was designed by Pedro Miller Rabinovitch and Roberto
|
||
Ierusalimschy, sponsored by <a href="http://www.fabricadigital.com.br">
|
||
F<EFBFBD>brica Digital</a>. The first implementation was compatible with Lua
|
||
4.0a. The current ODBC driver has been adapted from the original version
|
||
by Diego Nehab, and the PostgreSQL driver has been adapted by Roberto
|
||
Ierusalimschy and Carlos Cassino.
|
||
Version 1.1 was made by Diego Nehab, Eduardo Quintão and
|
||
Tomás Guisasola.
