Open Client DB-Library is a collection of routines you can use to write client applications. DB-Library is the predecessor to Client-Library. Some functionality, such as Directory and Security services support, is not included with DB-Library. You must use Client-Library to take advantage of these services.
DB-Library includes routines that send commands to a server and others that process the results of those commands. Other routines set application properties, handle error conditions, and provide a variety of information about an application’s interaction with a server.
See the Open Server and SDK New Features for Windows, Linux, and UNIX for a list of operating system platforms where the Open Client DB-Library/C is available.
