Chapter 1 - ODBC Adapter
This chapter introduces the Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC) adapter. You can
use the adapter with a Command Server, an Event Server, the Platform API, or
with a map in a map rule.
Overview
Use the database adapters for ODBC to access and manipulate data contained in
databases that are ODBC data sources. You can also install database adapters on
additional systems for remote database connectivity.
This chapter discusses the requirements for installing and running the database
adapters for ODBC and provides the database-specific information required for
using your specific adapters in your database host environment.
System Requirements
To install and run the ODBC database adapters
♦ Verify that you have installed any desired ODBC drivers and have configured
your ODBC data source(s). For information about how to do this, refer to the
ODBC documentation included with your driver(s).
♦ Verify that the ODBC environment variables are defined. For information about
this, refer to your ODBC documentation.
Note After you have initially run the setup program, if you make changes to
your path and/or library path at a later date, you need to re-run this
program.
