I finally managed to do some progress , i was having the problem that php could not find the odbc drivers. Now i finally managed to install them in php. However when i start using gii to create a model i get the following error =>CDbConnection does not support reading schema for odbc database.
Dose this mean that yii dose not support a mdb database ? If anybody has any tips or wants to know how to install the odbc drivers for php on windows let me know .
Thanks

since it's not supported by yii (meaning you could not use AR), you could not use it in yii for this sense
however, you could still use via pdo or odbc

I enjoy the Yii.sy coding life here.

Do you have an example i can take a look at or is there a tutorial that shows how to use yii via pdo without using active roccord
