Re: How to connect external databases ?

Kat

I do know that Quick Base is hard at work to create an ODBC connector using Pipelines. They realize that that will open a whole world of possibilities of connections being able to connect to any generic ODBC database.

I do not have any timing on that but it is possible that now that they have rolled out the Pipelines connections to the Google Suites that it could be that ODBC is next.   Your best bet may be to wait until the Pipeline connection comes through.

Quick Base will normally not Announce Timing until they are ready to Announce Timing but I suppose you could try to put in a support ticket to ask to be put in touch with someone on the Pipelines development team to see if they will reveal to you some idea of the timing. It is not a secret that this ODBC connection is a high priority for them but the question is when they expect it to come out in Beta.  Maybe you can ask nicely and offer to be an Alpha tester for them.  

It does not hurt to ask.  :)
