STEP FORWARD Server uses JDBC drivers for
connection with the database.
JDBC drivers are .JAR files provided by the database vendors;
some drivers
are distributed with STEP FORWARD installation files (Mimer,
McKoi), while
other drivers must be downloaded from the vendor's website:
Sybase - http://www.sybase.com/products/middleware/jconnectforjdbc
The folllowing file downloaded from this link
must be copied into STEP FORWARD Server
installation directory: jconn2.jar
MS SQL Server 2000 - http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/jdbcregister.asp The
folllowing files downloaded from this link must be copied
into STEP FORWARD Server
installation directory: mssqlserver.jar, msbase.jar, msutil.jar.
Note that in Windows environment, the process
of
downloading driver files from Miscrosoft's
website places the files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib
directory. In Linux environment, the user can download
and unarchuve mssqlserver.tar file.
