GOAL:
How can a connection be made to a Progress database from a non-Progress Application?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
FIX:
There are two methods to connect from a non-Progress Application such as MsAccess, Seagate Crystal Reports, Cognos Impromtu, etc to a Progress database. In Progress 9.x both methods can be used.
In Progress 8.x only Method 1 is applicable.
Method 1
SQL-89 access using the DataDirect Connect (formerly known as MERANT) ODBC drivers.
This configuration requires OIB/OID set up.
Method 2
SQL-92 access using the SQL-92 ODBC drivers.
Check the ODBC Driver Guide for Progress 9 for detailed configuration information.
