ODBC component overview
ODBC with the
HCL® OneDB® ODBC Driver
includes several components.
HCL OneDB™
ODBC Driver with the DMR
HCL® OneDB® ODBC Driver
includes a Driver Manager Replacement (DMR) library. The DMR replaces the driver manager on platforms where no driver manager is available.
HCL OneDB™
ODBC Driver components
HCL® OneDB® ODBC Driver
includes the four components.
The
HCL OneDB™
ODBC Driver API
An application uses the
HCL® OneDB® ODBC Driver
API to make a connection to a data source, send SQL statements to a data source, process result data dynamically, and terminate a connection.
Connection pooling and authentication
Global Language Support
HCL OneDB™
products can support many languages, cultures, and code sets. Global Language Support (GLS) provides support for all language- and culture-specific information.
X/Open standard interface
In addition to the standard ODBC functions, the
HCL® OneDB® ODBC Driver
also supports the additional functions.
External authentication
For
HCL OneDB™
Version 10.0 and later, you can implement external authentication through the
HCL® OneDB® ODBC Driver
.
Bypass ODBC parsing
You can bypass ODBC parsing by using several options.
BufferLength in character for SQLGetDiagRecW
The
SQLGetDiagRecW
API returns diagnostic information in the output buffer, where the BufferLength parameter is the length of buffer allocated.
HCL OneDB™
and ISAM error descriptions in SQLGetDiagRec
The
SQLGetDiagRec
API returns diagnostic information in the output buffer, where the error description is for the
HCL OneDB™
error message.
Improved performance for single-threaded applications
You are likely to improve the performance of single-threaded applications by using the SINGLETHREADED connection parameter. The value is off by default.
