ODBC Driver for UNIX Operating Systems
Micro Focus XDBC enables connections to an ODBC driver from a UNIX command line or script, allowing UNIX users to access the database directly. Once connected, UNIX users can execute SQL commands or scripts through the Micro Focus XDBC command-line query tool. For information about ODBC drivers on UNIX, see the topic To use the unixODBC driver.
Micro Focus XDBC includes a JDBC driver, which enables Java applications to connect to the database.
An SQL query tool enables you to execute SQL commands and scripts directly on your database tables without having to connect to the database from a third-party application or go through an ODBC connection. The command-line query tool is useful for such tasks as creating batch reports that require a series of complicated SQL commands to produce.
