ODBC Driver for HDF5

You are receiving this email because we value your input as a user of our
software. You may be an active customer, a participant in the HDF Forum, or
a member of one or more of The HDF Group's mailing lists. We're working on
something we think is very exciting and we would like to share the
excitement with you!

We have begun the development of an ODBC driver for HDF5. (Open Database
Connectivity, or ODBC, is a standard SQL API for accessing relational and
non-relational data stores.) The ODBC driver for HDF5 will be a standard
connector that links HDF5 data containers to clients, from desktop
applications to servers.

Why this may be important to you.. Have you ever tried to import data from
an HDF5 file into an Excel spreadsheet, or export data from a relational
table to an HDF5 file? Would this capability be important to you?

If the ODBC Driver for HDF5 sounds like a valuable tool for your work,
please read the attached datasheet

that would be important to you. We also encourage you to share this email
with any colleagues who might also be interested in this capability.

In principle it is a nice idea, but I found the data sheet too brief to
really say whether I would like it. I would like to see more details
about the planned implementation.
I wonder how the mapping of the hierarchical/array model of HDF5 to/from
the relational ODBC model is done. Can selection on array values,
indices, attributes be done?

Cheers,
Ger

Agree with previous poster. One big question I have is can I use this to
create connection string that can then allow me to connect hdf5 to a
recordset object that I can read/write/modify/create? Would like to use via
vbscript (yeah old school but when you need to live off the land this is
what you have at hand).
