OpenLink .NET Data Provider for ODBC Pre-Installation Requirements

Pre-Installation Requirements for Mono Clients

DBMS Requirements

• Your target database must be ODBC and SQL compliant.
  
• You must possess enough knowledge to establish an ODBC connection to this database using third-party or native ODBC drivers.

Software Requirements

• You need a functional Mono CLR runtime.

• You need to ensure that you have the iODBC or other ODBC Driver Manager installed on non-Windows platforms.

• You must possess third-party or native drivers that connect to your target database. A client portion of these drivers must be installed on the same machine as OpenLink's .NET Data Provider for ODBC.

Configuration Requirements

• You will need to ensure that your environment is configured to promote connectivity using your third-party or native ODBC driver. OpenLink Product Support can provide minimal assistance in this area. Ideally, you will use your drivers to create a System Data Source Name for greater compatibility with OpenLink needs.

• You must know the exact name of one or more third party or native Data Source Names that connect to your target data source.
