SourcePro : DB Access Module for MySQL User’s Guide : Introduction

Introduction

A SourcePro DB installation consists of the DB Interface Module and one or more DB Access Modules. Each DB Access Module provides access to a specific database API; this architecture is explained in detail in the DB Interface Module User's Guide.

NOTE: 	Throughout this document, please interpret the string "MySQL" as a shorthand for the family of databases and not specifically as the Oracle MySQL database.

The DB Access Module for MySQL provides access to the MySQL family of databases (including MariaDB), using the C API client library provided by the database vendor.

NOTE: 	This manual assumes that you have installed your client database software and established a successful database connection. For more information, see Section 1.3.3, “Database Connectivity,” in the DB Interface Module User’s Guide, and the manual Installing and Building Your SourcePro Products.
