Database client software

To connect to a database server, the database client software must be installed on the system where you run the Genero BDL programs.

The Genero runtime system uses database drivers to connect to database servers, as a database client program. Database vendor-specific client software needs to be installed on the system where you run the Genero programs.

Example of database client software:

Informix^® Client SDK (with ESQL/C)
DB2 Connect™ (with CLI)
Oracle Client (with OCI)
Microsoft™ SQL Server Native Client (with ODBC driver)
PostgreSQL client (libpq)
MySQL client (libmysqlclient)
FreeTDS ODBC client (libtdsodbc)
EasySoft ODBC client for SQL Server (libessqlsrv)
SQLite 3.x (libsqlite3)

Database drivers are shipped as shared libraries and require a database client software shared library. The database driver to be selected must correspond to the database client type and version.
