[wx-dev] last call for volunteers for wxODBC maintenance

[Igor Korot]

Vadim,

I would love to do that. However, I have access only to
Windows/Linux machines.
I also want to say that I will be using wxODBC for my
program. But it won't be for couple of month at least...

If there will be an example of how to use at least one
such library with wx, it would've been great.

What I mean is: in the sample there will be a source code
that will use ODBC library with the text file of how to compile
and run the program.

Thank you.
