A.2.4.9 Oracle
Crystal Reports supports direct access to Oracle SQL databases. This accessibility is provided by the
crdb_oracle.dll translation file. This file communicate with the Oracle database driver, which works
directly with Oracle databases and clients, retrieving the data you need for your report.
Note:
• In order for Crystal Reports to use Oracle SQL databases, the Oracle client software must be installed
on your system, and the location of the Oracle client must be in the PATH statement of your
Autoexec.bat file.
• When logging on to Oracle using crdb_oracle.dll, the date format is changed to match the default
date/time format of Crystal Reports.
A.2.4.10 Sybase Adaptive Server
Crystal Reports opens SQL data created by Sybase Adaptive Server directly through the
crdb_p2ssyb10.dll, installed with Crystal Reports. This translation file works with the Sybase database
drivers to read Sybase Adaptive Server data. If your Sybase server is correctly configured, you will be
able to read Sybase data as soon as Crystal Reports is installed.
A.2.4.11 Lotus Domino
Lotus Domino is a powerful groupware application used for communication and information sharing
between departments in an organization.

driver. For information about the ODBC driver, see Lotus Domino.
Choosing Lotus Domino during installation adds the translation file crdb_p2snote.dll.
Note:
• Nextpwd.dll and the Lotus API DLL (Lcppn201.dll) are installed in the Lotus Domino executable
directory.
