I guess some like SDL don't need that.

Yes, it's in progress. Some like SQLite are one-to-one in Red like 
in Red/System. SDL is used more as a part in other low level bindings, 
such as OpenGL. OpenGL itself is waiting for floats in Red

ok, so got valid ODBC connection string fro .xlsx files. R2 crashes 
when copying a data though ...

p: open [
     scheme: 'ODBC

     target: "Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DBQ=C:\Work\sales.xlsx;"
]

ok, got it kind of working with the increase of p/locals/rows to 
10K lines ... the excel sheets are so complex, that it does not return 
half of the info, it most probably counts on more columnar/db kind 
of data ...

pity Saphirion's excel dialect is not available for download anymore. 
Will try with Anton's old COMlib code ...

Sorry for the off-topic question, I though I was in another channel.

You are used to Red channel being at the top, right? :-)

Just forgot to check the channel name before posting. ;-)
