DataMiner

The IDL DataMiner is an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface that allows IDL users to access and manipulate information from a variety of database management systems.

You can find information in the IDL DataMiner Guide, located in the help\pdf directory of your IDL installation. This guide includes topics such as:

• Creating and Connecting to a Database Object
• Working with Table Data
• ODBC SQL Syntax
• Data Type Mappings
• DataMiner API:
• DIALOG_DBCONNECT
• DB_EXISTS
• IDLdbDatabase
• IDLdbRecordset
• ODBC Configuration on UNIX

The IDL DataMiner includes a set of ODBC drivers known as Connect ODBC, that is produced by DataDirect Technologies. IDL supports version 7.1 of the Connect ODBC drivers for most platforms.
