Note that the setup information in this appendix is for products not developed or supported by Deskware. Complete lists of drivers and vendor/author contact information are in the sections titled Microsoft Windows ® ODBC Drivers and UnixODBC ODBC Drivers at the end of this appendix.
For Unix platforms, the authors of unixODBC provide several database drivers, and several other Unix database vendors provide ODBC drivers. Microsoft ® operating systems come with many popular drivers, and many others are available from database and driver vendors. Prior to configuring a data source, you must obtain and install an ODBC driver for the data source you wish to access. In this chapter, we provide step-by-step instructions for configuring your data sources in both Windows ® and Unix environments, and for setting up unixODBC, an open source ODBC connectivity package for Unix environments. In Microsoft ® operating systems, this setup is relatively simple, while on Unix platforms it’s slightly more involved this is because the normal Unix environment will not have ODBC connectivity software already installed. LinkMaker ™ uses the Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC) specification to connect to a broad range of data sources such as DB2 ®, Oracle ®, Informix ®, MS SQL Server ®, MS Access ®, Postgres ®, and MySQL ™.įor LinkMaker ™ to access data sources properly, so that you will be able to embed SQL in your CobolScript programs, some setup and configuration is required.
Setting Up ODBC and ODBC Data Sources for LinkMaker ™ĬobolScript LinkMaker ™ is the database conduit technology that is integrated with CobolScript Professional Edition.
