Neoview ODBC Drivers Manual (R2.5)

Driver components can be installed on any workstation running Linux, HP-UX, or IBM AIX®.
These are the client components:
Text file that contains client data sources.MXODSN file
Run the sample program to verify a connection for HP
Neoview ODBC Linux, HP-UX (32 and 64-bit), and IBM
AIX® drivers.
Sample program
Is 3.0 compliant and implements a subset of the ODBC
3.51 APIs. Enables an ODBC client application to access
the Neoview database.

Drivers Supported
The HP Neoview Drivers for UNIX supported include:
Supported PlatformType of Driver
Linux x86 or Linux x86_6432–bit drivers
HP-UX Itanium
HP-UX PA-RISC
IBM AIX®
Sun Solaris for SPARC®
Linux x86_6464–bit drivers
Linux IA-64
HP-UX Itanium 64-bit
HP-UX PA-RISC 64-bit
IBM AIX® 64-bit
Sun Solaris for SPARC® 64-bit
If you choose to port an ODBC 32-bit application to 64-bit, you must make code changes. For
detailed information about the differences between 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC code, please refer to
the Microsoft Developer Network Online Library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/

For information about installing the drivers, see the README for the HP Neoview ODBC Drivers
for UNIX at www.software.hp.com.
Data Sources
To configure ODBC client access to the Neoview database, NDCS requires data source definitions
on both the Neoview database and the client workstation.
Default Data Source
NDCS provides a preconfigured, default server data source on the server called
TDM_Default_DataSource. You can stop and start the TDM_Default_DataSource using HP
Neoview DB Admin, but you cannot delete it. The TDM_Default_DataSource has these functions:
• ODBC clients can connect to TDM_Default_DataSource.
• If an ODBC client tries to connect to a server data source that does not exist, it will default
to TDM_Default_DataSource. Contact your Administrator to create server data sources.
