Iodbc driver manager administrator sdk

The OpenLink downloads pages to search for the software for your particular OS. If your Operating System or Database is not available in the list of supported platforms, please contact your Product Support consultant or Account Manager as the software might be available internally but not publicly so. Compatibility Is Older OS Compatibility Supported? Consultants will encounter users who possess older builds of popular operating systems. For example, OpenLink may provide software for Solaris 2.5 systems. However, users have Solaris 2.4. In this instance, consultants should not encourage users to download software. OpenLink's software is not backwards compatible and may not function on the older platform. Compatibility Is there Older DB Compatibility Supported? Consultants will encounter users who possess older builds of popular databases. For example, OpenLink may provide software for Informix 7.3 systems. However, users have Informix 5. In this instance, consultants should not encourage users to download software. OpenLink's software is not backwards compatible and may not function with the older platform. Be advised - Progress databases and OpenLink's Progress software are compatible, as long as both products share the same major number. For instance, OpenLink's Progress 8 database agents will connect to most Progress 8 databases. However Progress 8 database agents will not connect to Progress 7 databases. Compatibility OpenLink Data Access Drivers Vs iODBC? iODBC.org offers free installers and instructions for the open-source iODBC Driver Manager and iODBC SDK. The installers are packaged with source code, header files, make files, and other resources of interest to the development community. These products match OpenLink Software's quality and reliability; however, they, and the iODBC.org web site, cater to highly technical individuals who know how to build the iODBC Driver Manager into their own custom solutions. OpenLink Software provides commercial quality Data Access Drivers, the Virtuoso Universal Server, diagnostic utilities, and related SDKs. In addition, the iODBC Driver Manager is bundled into the OpenLink SDKs and installers for Data Access Drivers and Virtuoso. This software is intended to service businesses and other entities which need a complete, reliable, out-of-the-box solution. OpenLink provides value added components in the OpenLink iODBC variant of the iODBC SDK. This value takes the form of ready-to-run iODBC ports for all supported platforms, and in the case of Mac OS X this currently includes an AQUA and Frameworks based ODBC Administrator.

What is iODBC?iODBC is the acronym for Independent Open DataBase Connectivity, an Open Source platform independent implementation of both the ODBC and X/Open specifications. It is rapidly emerging as the industry standard for developing solutions that are language, platform and database independent. What is the iODBC Value Proposition?The ability to develop applications independent of back-end database engine, operating system, and for the most part programming language. Although ODBC and iODBC are both 'C' based Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) there are numerous cross language hooks and bridges from languages such as: C++, Java, Perl, Python, TCL etc. iODBC has been ported to numerous platforms, including: Linux (x86, Itanium, Alpha, Mips, and StrongArm), Solaris (Sparc & x86), AIX, HP-UX (PA-RISC & Itanium), Digital UNIX, Dynix, Generic UNIX 5.4, FreeBSD, MacOS 9, MacOS X, DG-UX, and OpenVMS.This is a great SDK for porting WIN32-based ODBC applications to Linux and other OS platforms.What's New in This Release: This stable release adds support for Universal Binary executables on Mac OS X. Small bugfixes were made. Internal state was not reset correctly after failures on subsequent calls to SQLExecute(), causing some function-sequence errors. Minor fixes were made for Mac OS X, HPUX, AIX, and 64-bit GUI builds. Additionally, the license terms have been clarified.

Configuration How Do Users Configure The Odbc ini File? Single-Tier users should use their HTTP-Based iODBC Data Sources Administrator to configure the odbc.ini file. Multi-Tier users may use the Admin Assistant to configure the odbc.ini file. All users may configure odbc.ini with vi or a similar text editor, if no graphical assistant exists. Configuration How Do Users Configure The Odbcinst ini File? Users should not need to configure the odbcinst.ini file. If configuration is necessary, users may edit it with vi or a similar text editor. Configuration How Do Users Configure The Openlink ini File? Users do not want to make manual edits to Unix-based openlink.ini files. Instead, users should perform the following actions, before they install OpenLink drivers: 1. Login to the Unix system. 2. su to the database client user. 3. Execute the database client user's .profile. 4. Run OpenLink's installation procedure.OpenLink's installation procedure should detect the database client user's environment variables and write them into openlink.ini. If this procedure fails, users's should take the following action: 1. vi the database client user's .profile. 2. Record the variables contained in the file. 3. cd into the /bin sub-directory of the OpenLink installation. 4. vi openlink.ini. 5. Locate the [Environment] section that pertains to the OpenLink driver. 6. Set the appropriate environment variables. Configuration How Do Users Configure The Oplrqb ini File? Users may use the HTTP-based Administrative Assistant to configure their oplrqb.ini files. There are a wide variety of animated tutorials that explain the Administrative Assistant features. Instruct users to use the Administrative Assistant's refresh feature to initialize changes it makes to the file. Advanced users may edit oplrqb.ini with a text editor. Instruct users to restart the Broker or reinitialize the Broker ( oplshut +reinit ) to initialize changes made to the file. Configuration How Do Users Configure The Udbc ini File? Users may install a Multi-Tier Request Broker archive on the machine that contains their Multi-Tier client components. This provides users with the HTTP-based Administrative Assistant. Users may use the Assistant to configure their udbc.ini files. There are animated tutorials, which explain this process. Text-based instructions appear below: 1. Open the client-side Administrative Assistant in a Web browser. 2. Expand the Client Components Administration menu. 3. Expand the Data Source Name Configuration menu. 4. Expand the Edit Data

Instead. Configuration What Does Use SPACE For SQL_IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR Do? This is a Progress SQL-89 specific option which if set the driver returns " " rather than "" to represent this database does not have a quoted identifier character. The ODBC specification says that " " is what should be returned but some applications (like Crystal Reports) interpret this response as meaning the quoted identifier character is a "space", which obviously does not make sense and fails, as they are expecting "" to be returned hence this need for this option. Configuration What Does Users Own Tables First In SQL Tables Mean? This is an option specific to the UDA Oracle driver enabling the tables owned by the connected to user to be displayed first in the list present by SQLtables rather than purely in alphabetical order. Configuration What Is The Openlink.ini File? The openlink.ini file is a Single-Tier configuration file. It appears in the /bin sub-directory of Unix-based, Single-Tier installations. openlink.ini contains database-specific environment variables. Configuration What Is The Oplrqb.ini File? The oplrqb.ini file is the OpenLink Session Rules Book. The OpenLink Session Rules Book contains parameters that the Request Broker uses to resolve Multi-Tier connections. The Session Rules Book also contains: Request Broker configuration parameters; Networking & protocol specific parameters; Expression-based rules that comprise Multi-Tier enhanced security; Some Admin Assistant configuration parameters Configuration What Is The Udbc.ini File? The udbc.ini file contains client configuration parameters and data source connection parameters that facilitate use of OpenLink's UDBC drivers. It is similar in structure to the standard odbc.ini file. Users do not need to configure udbc.ini, unless they choose to use OpenLink's proprietary UDBC data access protocol. Users choose UDBC to bypass dependence on an ODBC driver manager. However, due to prevalence of iODBC and other driver managers on Unix, UDBC is no longer needed. OpenLink has dropped support for UDBC in its 5.0 releases. Configuration What Is The odbcinst.ini File? The odbcinst.ini file is a standard ODBC configuration file. It consists of a list of drivers installed on the operating system and individual configuration sections for each driver. The configuration sections usually contain a Driver parameter, which passes the full path to the driver. These sections also contain a Setup parameter, which passes the location of the setup dialogs that are use to configure data sources that reference the driver. Other parameters appear as needed. Configuration What Is Zero Config? OpenLink's ZeroConfig functionality allows the OpenLink administrator to define sets of database connection parameters using the Administrative Assistant. For instance, the OpenLink Administrator may hard-code the Request Broker host and port, database name, database username, and database password in a ZeroConfig Data Source. Existing ZeroConfig Data Sources are broadcast over the corporate network. End users may create Data Source Names from scratch. Alternatively, users may select a convenient ZeroConfig Data Source Name. Use of ZeroConfig Data Sources allow novice or non-privileged users to connect to the database using an immediate and reliable set of connection parameters. Configuration What Ports Do
