Sean,

Let me explain.

We have class SchemaBrowser. It work with interfaces
    
    vs_I_Database
    vs_I_Table
    vs_I_Field

Now each plugin impleemnt these interfaces:

    plugin_v2, plugin_v1, plugin ODBC

You see idea of design.

But we have meet problem that to add into Schema Browser more and more
features from Valentina 2 we need add more and more methods into these vs_I_
interfaces. For v1 and ODBC plugins they do not have sense.

Or even if they have sense it require from us 3 times more efforts to
implement them. ODBC start cause problems related to OTHER dbs and ODBC
itself.

So we have decide that better first of all (at least) implement all
functionality that we must have around Valentina 2 than spend time to add
one more browser tool for mySQL, Oracle, Postgre.


IN THE SAME TIME Valentina Studio will still be able do IMPORT of structure
and data from any ODBC source. Jochen will add back ODBC plugin for next
build so ODBC import will work on default.

You see our point? 

Do you point that you have use Valentina Studio to browse data of other DBMS
via ODBC connection ?
