HPUX ODBC connection to MSSQL Database

[Seth Clarke]

We have an HPUX 11.11 pa-risc system that is running MicroFocus Cobol and we'd like to use it to connect to a Microsoft SQL Database.

Does HP provide any ODBC libraries or installs to make this connection possible?

I couldn't find it at the HP porting and archive center, but you could instead try this which we use.

I am not sure but I assume you can use a regular ODBC driver to connect from your HPUX to MSQL. Check the following link

Hope it helps.

I needed an ANSI C compiler but was able to successfully compile unixODBC on an HPUX 11.11 system

Thanks for all your help
