Possible ways to connect to a Progress database using a foreign application.
GOAL:
How to access a Progress database from a non Progress 4GL application?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
FIX:
The most common ways to connect to the Progress database with a non-Progress application are as follows:
1) ODBC/JDBC and SQL-92 ESQL/C applications can use ODBC/JDBC drivers to connect to Progress SQL-92 engine. Refer to the "Progress SQL92 collection" manuals.
2) Using the Appserver you can connect with ActiveX or Java clients to the Progress database. Refer to the manuals "Open Client Developer's Guide" and "Building Distributed Applications Using the Progress AppServer".
