#IODBC DRIVER FOR MAC INSTALL#
Install ODBC Drivers for one or more target RDBMS which host the desired data document(s) (a/k/a “databases”). Install the ODBC Runtime Environment - including the ODBC Administrator UI component. The ODBC UI/UX is based on a Printer Manager metaphor, and requires performance of just a few simple steps: Our JDBC-to-ODBC and ODBC-to-JDBC Bridges have also been fully updated to support Java 8, which is strictly 64-Bit on OS X. #IODBC DRIVER FOR MAC MAC OS X#
The latest iODBC SDK & Runtime addresses all of these, as is fully demonstrated by our brand new 32- and 64-bit Mac OS X ODBC Drivers for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP Sybase Adaptive Server, IBM DB2, IBM Informix, Actian Ingres, Progress, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and PrestoDB.
Inconsistent availability of 32-bit and 64-bit APIs - leading to inconsistent user experience, as applications and drivers are gradually converted from 32-bit to 64-bit, in line with operating system evolution. Lack of Cocoa-based Frameworks - for creating DSN Configuration and Connection Dialogs. Issues affecting developers of ODBC Applications and/or Drivers include: Inconsistent use and understanding of System-wide Data Source Names - has prevented sharing of ODBC DSN configuration by multiple users of the same computer. Sparse support for File Data Source Names (File DSNs) - has prevented the use of a shared ODBC connection attributes document, which can simplify management of RDBMS access in networked setups comprised of large numbers of users. Applications invisibly use ODBC to connect directly to backend RDBMS, rather than using DSN Configuration & Connection Dialogs - which would expose ODBC DSNs, rather than direct RDBMS connections, to users and their applications. Applications fail to exploit ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) Configuration & Connection Dialogs - with regards to DSN management. Typical UI/UX issues affecting the end-user include: IODBC Administrator UI for Managing Configuration of Drivers and Data Source Names Most of these inconsistencies are related to the fact that OS X is a Unix variant. Unlike on Windows, on OS X, the ODBC UI/UX (User Interface and User Experience) lacks consistency at the levels of both the ODBC compliant application and the ODBC Driver.
Like Windows, Mac OS X is an operating system geared towards the needs of a variety of user profiles that includes:
IODBC provides a variety of productivity tools and/or development platforms with transparent access to data managed by an RDBMS. iODBC Administrator - provides a user-friendly interface for Driver and DSN administration, which makes use of the iODBC Core and iODBC Configuration just like any other ODBC compliant application.iODBC Configuration - provides the DSN configuration libraries.iODBC Core - provides the ODBC connectivity libraries.The iODBC SDK and Runtime is a combination of three important components, that enable the development and deployment of ODBC compliant applications and ODBC Drivers on Mac OS X.
