C/C++

You must install the ODBC client driver before creating C/C++ client applications.

OpenText™ Analytics Database provides an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver that allows applications to connect to the database. This driver can be used by custom-written client applications that use the ODBC API to interact with the database. ODBC is also used by many third-party applications to connect to the database, including business intelligence applications and extract, transform, and load (ETL) applications.

This section details the process for configuring the database ODBC driver. It also explains how to use the ODBC API to connect to the database in your own client applications.

While client applications written in C, C++, Perl, PHP, etc. all use the ODBC client driver to connect to the database, this section only concerns C and C++ applications.
