ODBC Driver

GUYET Fabrice — Tue, 08 Oct 2002 08:41:38 GMT

Hi,
I want to communicate from an Oracle Database on HP-UX 11.00 with an SQL Server on W2K.
How can I do ?
Where can I find the ODBC drivers ?

Hi ,
From my knowledge, ODBC drivers are not natives on HP-UX. I mean that there is no native client support on HP-UX to access an SQL server.
But you have a commercial product which can use a Windows system as a gateway to connect to any Windows ODBC products.
see : www.openodbc.org and www.unixodbc.org

But you have other ways to communicate : PHP
PHP can communicate basically to SQLserver from windows (if you run PHP on Unix, you need to use a sybase connection - I never try this and I don't know if it's working - ) and to Oracle. But by the way, you are working outside your database.
