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:

IBM^® Informix^® Client SDK (with ESQL/C)
IBM okDB2 Connect^® (with CLI)
Oracle^® Client (with OCI)
Oracle MySQL client (libmysqlclient)
Microsoft™ SQL Server Native Client(with ODBC driver)
PostgreSQL client (libpq)
FreeTDS ODBC client (libtdsodbc)
Easysoft™ ODBC client for SQL Server (libessqlsrv)
SQLite 3.x (libsqlite3)
SAP Sybase ASE™ OCS client

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.
