Neoview ODBC Drivers Manual (R2.4)

Password Expiration
NDCS is configured to allow the driver to display password expiration warnings. You can change
your password during the current session in one of two ways:
• Provide the old and new passwords in a dialog box that displays with the expiration warning.
If you enter an invalid password, the connection is terminated.
You can also cancel the password change and just continue with the current session.
• Provide the old and new passwords in the connection string:
PWD=old_password, new_password, new_password
UCS2 Translation
The datasource attribute, UCS2Translation, controls whether the driver translates application
data when inserting or retrieving data from UCS2 columns if the ISO mapping is ISO88591 and
the client locale is the default.
• If UCS2Translation is specified and set to 0, the driver does not translate application data.
Use this setting to preserve the behavior of earlier versions of the drivers for UNIX.
• If UCS2Translation is absent or has a value other than 0, translation occurs.
If the ISO mapping is not ISO88591, this attribute has no meaning: the driver always translates
data between the client locale and the server ISO mapping.
Release Considerations and Restrictions
Table 2-1 Release Considerations and Restrictions for HP Neoview ODBC Drivers for UNIX
If your application relies on a standard driver manager
to load the HP ODBC library, the library, libhpodbc_drvr,
should be used. Refer to your standard driver manager
documentation for information on how to configure an
ODBC library with libhpodbc_drvr.
The library, libhpodbc, which provides the functionality
of the driver manager and driver, is not suitable for
loading from another driver manager.
HP ODBC driver software
An ODBC client application can set the schema for an
ODBC client data source by editing your MXODSN file.
If an ODBC client does not set the schema for an ODBC
client data source, NDCS defaults to USR. Note:
• Schema names follow SQL rules and are case sensitive.
• Schema names that are defined by default are not
recognized by NDCS for client data sources.
Schema
This function does not support pattern value arguments
for table names, and returns keys information for a
specified table name.
SQLPrimaryKeys Function
This function does not support pattern value arguments
for table names, and returns an optimal set of columns
that uniquely identifies a row in the table information for
a specified table name.
SQLSpecialColumns Function
This function does not support pattern value arguments
for table names, and returns index information for a
specified table name.
SQLStatistics Function
