Success -- MySQL / MyODBC replication

[michael d hoskins]

This is true for Windoze, but what free, Open Source, PHP compatible
ODBC product exists for Linux, other Unices?

If such a beast exists, and I hope it does, is it fast and stable enough
for production use.  Is there any modification to the ODBC calls,
themselves?

Do you have any docs for it?

I'd be glad to see this in action, since that would make Linux and
Windoze PHP code (basically) equivalent, at least for database access.

PHP has full support for ODBC.  Use it to abstract your database
backends.
