Establishing Connectivity
Establishing connectivity is often one of the more challenging aspects of developing client/server applications. If this is the first time you are doing this, you will probably need help from your system administrator.
NOTE: Rogue Wave technical support cannot help you establish or test the connection between your machine and the database server you wish to access, or the ability of your compiler to properly compile, link, and run programs that access the database server.
To use DB Interface Module the following conditions must be met:
1. The machine that you work on must be able to connect to the database server you wish to access.
2. The compiler that you use must be able to compile, link, and run programs (as provided by the RDBMS vendor) that access the database server.
3. Programs written using DB Interface Module must be able to access the database server.
The following sections suggest ways that you can test each of these conditions.
