Driver requirements

Data source and platform requirements

For the latest support information, visit the DataDirect Product Compatibility Guide.

The driver requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that is Java SE 8 or higher. JVM support includes Oracle JDK, OpenJDK, and IBM SDK (Java) distributions.
For 32-bit drivers, a 32-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is required. For 64-bit drivers, a 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is required.
For Windows, you must set the PATH environment variable to the directory containing the jvm.dll for your JVM.
For UNIX/Linux, you must set the library path environment variable of your operating system to the directory containing your JVM’s libjvm.so file and that directory’s parent directory.

IBM POWER processor
An application compatible with components that were built using Visual Age C++ 6.0.0.0 and the AIX native threading model
IBM SDK, JAVA Technology Edition
Before you can use the driver, you must set the LIBPATH environment variable to include the paths containing the libjvm.so library and the libnio.so library, which are installed in a subdirectory of your Java Development Kit (JDK). For example, you would add the following paths for Java 8 installed in the /usr directory:
:/usr/java8/jre/lib/ppc/classic:/usr/java8/jre/lib/ppc
In this example, /usr/java8/jre/lib/ppc/classic is the location of libjvm.so, while /usr/java8/jre/lib/ppc is the location of libnio.so.

Note: The driver is compiled using the –brtl loader option. Your application must support runtime linking functionality.

For example, you would add the following paths for Java 8 installed in the /usr directory:
:/usr/java8_64/jre/lib/ppc64/classic:/usr/java8_64/jre/lib/ppc64
In this example, /usr/java8_64/jre/lib/ppc64/classic is the location of libjvm.so, while /usr/java8_64/jre/lib/ppc64 is the location of libnio.so.

Note: The driver is compiled using the –brtl loader option. Your application must support runtime linking functionality.

Intel Itanium II (IPF) processor
An application compatible with components that were built using HP aC++ 5.36 and the HP-UX 11 native (kernel) threading model (posix draft 10 threads)
You must set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the fully qualified path to the libjvm.so from your JVM installation.

You must set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the fully qualified path to the libjvm.so of your JVM installation.

Note: Do not link with the –lc linker option.

If your application was built with 32-bit system libraries, you must use 32-bit drivers. The database to which you are connecting can be either 32-bit or 64-bit enabled.
An application compatible with components that were built using g++ GNU project C++ Compiler version 3.4.6 and the Linux native pthread threading model (Linuxthreads).

An application compatible with components that were built using g++ GNU project C++ Compiler version 3.4 and the Linux native pthread threading model (Linuxthreads).

x64: Intel and AMD processors
Oracle Solaris 10 and 11.x operating systems are supported.
An application compatible with components that were built using Sun C++ Compiler version 5.8 and the Solaris native (kernel) threading model

The following processors are supported:
- Oracle SPARC
- x64: Intel and AMD
For Oracle SPARC: An application compatible with components that were built using Sun Studio 11, C++ compiler version 5.8 and the Solaris native (kernel) threading model
For x64: An application compatible with components that were built using Sun C++ Compiler version 5.8 and the Solaris native (kernel) threading model

All required network software that is supplied by your database system vendors must be 32-bit compliant.
You must have Microsoft Visual C/C++ runtime version 14.40.33810 or higher.
You must have ODBC header files to compile your application. For example, Microsoft Visual Studio includes these files.
