Thanks for letting us know Arnold.
Arnold
Great to see so much progress on Munge again Ashley!
Reichart, Gregg, thank you. It was about time to get in control for R3 finally in 2017. Put an end to 'cast in stone open source software'.

"could I send a little money gift for your work?" I appreciate the offer, but no need as I'm already well compensated for the work. If you're still keen though, I'd ask that whatever amount you may have been inclined to send my way please send to the Red team as I'd like to help them more.

Ashley, I would add this amount of money to a RED project to have a native connector to a general purpose database engine (Postgresql, MariaDB, SQLLite) or a printing engine.
Which one do you find more useful ? It is your choice the project which will have a BOUNTY + Your GIFT.
Ashley
ODBC? (my main interest is SQL Server), otherwise SQLite.
GiuseppeC
ODBC, or some kind of SQL Server native driver ?
I have discussed a lot about this topic with myself without finding a solution.:
ODBC is universal database access engine for windows, there are ODBCies for Linux too but I am not aware which to choose that would make the project really "universal". Native drivers give "speed" and other functionality specific to the DB engine. SQLLite gives portability to be used even on Android...

Great work Ashley, Just curious about, why did you change block format from flat to blocked? The old one was compatible with tabular data and we were able to copy/paste from an Excel file.
Ashley
Great question ... moving this discussion over to the !munge group
