Deploying client applications
The simplest way to deploy ODBC clients is to use the InstallShield objects or templates. For information, see Using InstallShield objects and templates for deployment.
Each ODBC client machine must have the following:
A working ODBC installation ODBC files and instructions for their redistribution are available for redistribution from Microsoft Corporation. They are not described in detail here.
Microsoft provides their ODBC Driver Manager for Windows operating systems. SQL Anywhere Studio includes an ODBC Driver Manager for UNIX. There is no ODBC Driver Manager for Windows CE.
ODBC applications can run without the driver manager. On platforms for which an ODBC driver manager is available, this is not recommended.
Update ODBC if neededThe SQL Anywhere Setup program updates old installations of the Microsoft Data Access Components, including ODBC. If you are deploying your own application, you must ensure that the ODBC installation is sufficient for your application. |
The Adaptive Server Anywhere ODBC driver This is the file dbodbc9.dll together with some additional files.
For more information, see ODBC driver required files.
Connection information The client application must have access to the information needed to connect to the server. This information is typically included in an ODBC data source.
