Raining Data is pleased to announce the general availability of OpenDB 2.0 and D3 Oracle Gateway 2.0 for D3 releases 7.2.1.
OpenDB and D3 Oracle Gateway address application extensibility, interoperability and enterprise-level integration. The enhanced features of these new releases are in direct response to our customer's request for improved open connectivity between D3 and other relational database products through the elegant simplicity of our database environment.
With OpenDB, your BASIC applications can now read and write directly to external RDBMS via Super Q-pointers. This same capability is also available from TCL, AQL and the Editor. Please refer to product documentation for examples on how to connect to MS SQL Server, Oracle and MS Access. For applications that require a more robust connection to Oracle, we offer our D3 Oracle Gateway product with improved performance and row locking capabilities.

OpenDB OpenDB is a stand-alone Windows application that provides access to ODBC-compliant databases from the D3 environment. Once the connection is established between D3 and the remote database server, D3 is able to read, write and select data from the RDBMS as if it were a part of D3. As far as the end-user/developer is concerned, the remote RDBMS is just another D3 account, file or item. The integration of the two systems is totally transparent. If the remote RDBMS is Oracle, use the D3 Oracle Gateway instead.

D3 Oracle Gateway D3
Oracle Gateway is the solution for integrating D3 and
Oracle. It is an OSFI interface that allows the D3
programmer to open, read, write and select data from an Oracle
database with all the standard D3 tools such as BASIC,
Update Processor, Editor, AQL, etc. This driver creates a
transparent transport mechanism that allows accessing Oracle data to
becomes as easy as accessing D3 data. The D3
Oracle Gateway is available on AIX. |
