This manual provides a short overview of the ADABAS ODBC driver extension level because, in former versions, ADABAS did not support all functions (selectable isolation level, scrollable cursors, etc.) and the ODBC Standard (2.0) available so far has been modified. The first part, the Sections "introduction" and "supported data types", contains a short overview of the new functionality.
Section "supported functions" describes the individual functions with their actions and possible restrictions. For a complete description of the functions and an ODBC syntax reference, refer to the CALL Interface (ODBC) manual.
Section "configuring the adabas odbc driver" deals with the configuration options (setup) that affect the behavior of the ODBC driver. These options allow the ODBC driver, e.g., to trace all issued SQL statements in a file or to support different SQLMODEs.
Section "creating new data sources (windows)" describes the handling of the setup components for Windows platforms. UNIX users of the ODBC interface can ignore this section and should follow Section "data source administration (odbc.ini)". Section "odbc library" lists the files and programs needed for the usage of the ODBC interface and program development with the ODBC interface. The mentioned files and programs are created during the installation.
