To use SourcePro for Open Source Databases, you need a supported combination of operating system and compiler, as specified in the Supported_Platforms.pdf, in the distribution under <installdir>\ or on the web at https://help.perforce.com/sourcepro/current/Supported_Platforms.pdf..

The compiler is needed to build the examples.

To connect to a database and create examples using SourcePro DB components, you need to install the database client software and establish connectivity with the database server. The supported databases for each access module are also identified in the Supported_Platforms.pdf.
