JDBC Connections to Progress DB - Product Requirements?

[AndrewSmith]

Hi all,

We have a requirement to grant JDBC access to our various 10.1A OpenEdge databases, currently living on an IBM AIX server. The connection will be made from a Win32 client. I've had a look through the SQL guide and found the .jar files in my OpenEdge studio installation, which is great.

My question is - are the .jar files enough? The connection will be made from a client machine with no OpenEdge products currently installed. If I supply the .jar files, is that all that is needed, or will I have to install the "SQL Client Access" product as well (available FOC as a Deployment Component)?

Thanks for any insight,

Andy.

If I am correct then OE 10.1A also has type 4 drivers, if that is the case then openedge.jar, util.jar and base.jar are the only files you need to establish a jdbc connection.
