Database Guide
Before adding database functions to an application, you need to load a
VisualAge database support feature into your image. VisualAge supplies
the following database support features with the base code:
- IBM Database -- CLI
- Native support for IBM DATABASE 2 (DB2).
- ODBC Support
- Support for ODBC access to databases. This support gives you access
to virtually any relational database
- Native Oracle Database
- Native support for ORACLE.
To install a feature, follow these steps:
- From the Options menu in the VisualAge Organizer, select
Load\Unload Features.
A window appears, listing features that you can load into your image on the
left under Available features and features that are already loaded
on the right under Loaded features.
- Select the features you want from the Available features list,
select >>, and then select OK.
If you want to follow the examples in this chapter, select the
following:
- VisualAge: Database DB2 CLI Samples
- VisualAge: Database, Common Samples
- VisualAge: Database, Static DB1 Support
Messages are sent to the System Transcript window indicating the progress
of the load, which can take several minutes.
- Be sure to save your image when prompted.
