DB Access Modules
While each of the DB Access Modules prompts have minor differences, they follow the same pattern as the screen below.
To connect your examples to the database, you must provide all required connection information. The table below lists all the potential fields that may be used when installing a DB Access Module.
*Client Version Number
Specify the version of the database to be used. Some databases have multiple supported versions. Others have only one supported version.
*Data Source Name
Specify the name of the database server you want to connect to.
*Service Name
Specify the name of the service that you want to connect to.
*Server Name
Specify the name of the database server you want to connect to.
*User Name
Specify the user name to be used when logging on to the database server.
*Password
Specify the password to be used when logging on to the database server.
*Database Name
Specify the name of the database or server partition that you want to access.
*Property String
Specify other options, such as the packet-size for the Sybase client. If no options are specified, leave this field blank.
If you have any questions about the required options, see the access module user’s guide, located at buildspace\docs\html\<access-lib-mnemonic>ug. For example, the Oracle OCI user guide is located at buildspace\docs\html\oracleociug.
You can also access any of the documentation from the general index at buildspace\docs\html\index.html.
Information on environment variable settings for the various database clients can be found in the Building Your Applications.
