604 InfoMaker
OLE DB database providers
If your application uses OLE DB to access data, you must install Microsoft’s
Data Access Components software on each user’s computer if it is not installed
already.
The InfoMaker OLE DB interface requires the functionality of the Microsoft
Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.8 or higher software. Version 2.8
is distributed with Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003.
To check the version of MDAC on a computer, users can download and run the
MDAC Component Checker utility from the
MDAC Downloads page at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937730.aspx
.
On the Windows Vista operating system, the Windows Data Access
Components (DAC) version 6.0 includes some changes to work with Vista but
is otherwise functionally equivalent to MDAC 2.8.
OLE DB data providers installed with MDAC
Several Microsoft OLE DB data providers are automatically installed with
MDAC, including the providers for SQL Server (SQLOLEDB) and ODBC
(MSDASQL).
PowerBuilder OLE DB
interface files
The PowerBuilder OLE DB interface file is required if your application uses
OLE DB. The ODBC initialization file is required if you have used it to
customize OLE DB settings:

JDBC database interface
The PowerBuilder JDB interface supports the Sun Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) versions 1.2 and later.
If your application or component uses JDBC connections, you must deploy the
JDB driver as well as the appropriate Java package for the Java VM you are
using. The Java virtual machine and a vendor-supplied JDBC-compliant driver,
such as Sybase jConnect® for JDBC, must also be installed and configured on
the computer that accesses the data source.
For more information about the Java VM, see "Java support" next.
