Does the Intel Fortran Compiler for Windows support: a) Gino Graphics Libraries for Fortran b) an SQL database driver into MySQL(or other SQL DB)?

Last I looked, the GINO products supported Intel Visual Fortran. It's GINO that has to support the compiler, not the other way around. gino-graphics.com

As for SQL, there is a version of f90SQL-Lite that works with Intel Visual Fortran. It is not supported. See here.

I have already evaluated that package (f90SQL-Lite) and even in the Professional version requires the use of ODBC. Not quite what we had in mind. We prefer using direct interfaces (drivers) into databases. Leaving nothing to misinterpretation or misconfiguration by customers. We have seen customers delete ODBC links or database files(ODBC link targets) and then wonder why their programs no longer work. I located another solution in SQLite that has all necessary interfaces available, fortran(wrapper), c, c++, java(wrapper) without having to download and install Microsoft .NET 2005(the world). Thank you, Steve.

SQLite looks interesting for someone who wants a database, any database. It doesn't help with interfacing with Excel or other ODBC clients, though. Still, I am glad you mentioned it as I'm sure it's useful to many customers.
