SDK components

SDK is a set of libraries and utilities that you can use to develop client applications and includes these components:

• Open Client – a set of APIs used to develop and deploy C-language applications that access Adaptive Server data. Included on the installation medium are:

  • Drivers for integrating Client-Library and Open Server applications with directory and security services

  • Sample programs for Client-Library and DB-Library™

• Open Client Embedded SQL™/C – the precompiler that allows you to embed Transact-SQL® statements into C-language applications. The installation medium also includes sample programs for Embedded SQL/C.

• Open Client Embedded SQL/COBOL – the precompiler that allows you to embed Transact-SQL statements into COBOL-language applications. The installation medium also includes sample programs for Embedded SQL/COBOL.

  Embedded SQL/COBOL is available on all platforms except Linux on POWER 32-bit.

• Language modules – provide system messages and datetime formats to help you localize your applications. Default installation includes these character sets:
