MACHINE SPECIFIC NOTES
FOR
HCL OneDB Client SDK 1.0.1.1 PRODUCT RELEASE
HCL OneDB ESQL/C Version 1.0
On Windows x64
DATE: 30 Dec 2021
=================================
OS Information : Built on Windows Server 2016 x64.
Machine Specific Notes
======================
1. This product supports the following compiler:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2017
This product is built on Windows 2016 using the following compiler
from Microsoft Visual Studio 2017:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2017
2. Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM)
PAM functionality is supported. Use of PAM can be enabled or disabled by
the system administrator. By default, HCL OneDB will use the traditional
authentication mechanism in order to avoid widespread changes required
by the users.
3. IPv6 Support
OneDB supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (128 Bit Internet Addresses)
as well as IPv4 (32 Bit Addresses).
In order for the machine name specified in the SQLHOSTS registry to resolve
to the correct IP address, the name services files on the Operating System
should be correctly configured.
For compatibility with older HCL OneDB client and server products,
assign the same hostname with both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address.
If the listener needs to be bound to an IPv4 address and the name services
resolve the name in the order of the IPv6 address followed by IPv4 address,
then an explicit IPv4 address needs to be put in the nodename field of the
server registry. Client applications should also use the same setting.
4. ESQL/C support for static libraries
ESQL/C product libraries are supported as both static and dynamic
libraries. By default the script uses dynamic libraries.
To use static libraries, the 'esql' script must be invoked with the
-static option:
esql -static
Currently this -static option only works with the Microsoft Compiler.
The static library name is isqlt09s.lib. This library is installed in
//trident/informix/lib.
This version of HCL OneDB Client SDK is built and certified with Microsoft Visual
Studio 2013 Version. Hence its recommended to use compiler version >= 2013.
If you statically link (-static option) your ESQL/C application
with Microsoft Visual Studio Version older than 2013, you may receive
undefined symbol __report_rangecheckfailure() error. In order to avoid
this error, you will need to use Microsoft Visual Studio Version 2013 or later.
5. Host Variables (mlong datatype in Windows 64-bit)
The mlong datatype is mapped to __int64 for Windows 64-bit. 64-bit UNIX, mlong is mapped to long datatype.
