Pre-Installation Requirements for the Single-Tier "Lite" Edition ODBC Driver for JDBC Data Sources (a/k/a the ODBC-JDBC Bridge), for Unix-like OS

DBMS Requirements

Your target data source must be SQL compliant.
You must possess enough knowledge to establish a JDBC connection to this database using third-party or native JDBC drivers.

You must possess third-party or native JDBC drivers that connect to your target data source. A client portion of these drivers must be installed on the same machine as the Single-Tier "Lite" Edition ODBC Driver for JDBC Data Sources.
The JDBC driver jar file (or a symbolic link to it) must be included in the active CLASSPATH.
- Supporting Java libraries (or links to them) may also need to be included in this variable value.
- Directories containing other supporting libraries may need to be included in one of the other shared library environment variables (e.g., LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBPATH, SHLIB_PATH).
You must have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that is compatible with the Single-Tier "Lite" Edition ODBC Driver for JDBC Data Sources.
- Generally, the latest JVM from http://java.com/ is the best choice.
- If using a 64-bit ODBC Driver, you must have a 64-bit JVM.

You must be able to connect to the target database using the JDBC driver. OpenLink Product Support can provide minimal assistance in this area.
You must know the driver class name of the JDBC driver.
You must know the full details of the JDBC connection URL that connects to your target database.
