Many databases allow applications to store client information associated with a connection, which can be useful for database administration and monitoring purposes. The driver allows applications to store and return the following types of client information.

  • Name of the application
  • User ID
  • Host name of the client
  • Additional accounting information, such as an accounting ID
  • Driver name and version

This information can feed directly into the Workload Manager (WLM) for workload management and monitoring purposes. See "Workload Manager (WLM)" for more information.

Refer to Client information in the Progress DataDirect for JDBC Drivers Reference for more information.
