When is the MSSQL Server Version of QuickBooks Being Released
It’s not, NEVER! I suppose it was just a rumor this whole time. I just came across this in the QB forums. It’s a shame because the QuickBooks API is just so slow and cumbersome.
I honestly do not know where the rumour that we are doing a MSSQL Server version of QuickBooks keeps coming from — we’re not. Any plans we may or may not have regarding a database change would not be discussed in public — Intuit does not pre-announce product…
Even if we WERE to do a SQL-based database the SDK would remain the same (and you would not have ODBC access to the DB) because we would want the freedom to change DB schemas without breaking 3rd party applications. You would be best served sticking with the SDK or a layer built on top of it (like qODBC) that lets you focus on your program logic.
