1.2 Requirements

To use AcuSQL your environment must satisfy the following requirements:

sql90000.gif Your COBOL application must run on a 32-bit Windows system (Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT (Intel)), or a UNIX system supported by Acucorp.

sql90000.gif AcuSQL must be installed, along with the ACUCOBOL-GT development system, on your Windows or UNIX system.

sql90000.gif You must have a working ODBC level 2 API connection to your database, including any required networking software support. It is up to you to procure and configure the ODBC API software and related network software.

Your data source may be located on any host for which you have a working ODBC level 2 API connection. If your application is going to access DB2 data sources, we recommend IBM's "DB2 Connect" software. At Acucorp, access to DB2 databases is tested with "DB2 Connect." However, any vendor's properly configured ODBC Level 2 API connectivity software should work.

Your DB2 data source may be hosted on one (or more) of the following environments:

OS/390 HPUX

AS/400 Solaris

Windows NT AIX

NOTE: AcuSQL does not currently support large object data types (LOBs).
