Are you interested in developing a new backend?

@tathougies Hi ! :) Yes, I'm using odbc at work and it's pretty low-level, I was wondering how hard it would be to give it a nice beam interface

Hello! beam-firebird uses ODBC. I have a fork of it, where i've been trying to update it, but I don't know much about ODBC.

I am happy to answer questions on IRC or the mailing list about a new backend. beam-mysql is a good example of how to maintain a backend in a separate repository

Thanks ! I was referring to the recent ODBC bindings by FPComplete ( https://hackage.haskell.org/package/odbc ); I'll first take a look at beam-firebird and ask on IRC as soon as I have concrete questions.
