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 be used for database administration and monitoring purposes.

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