DB-Library 12.0 and later contains only bug fixes; that is, it has no new features and does not take advantage of directory services.
DB-Library 12.0 and later is non-reentrant and does
not use native threads. You cannot use DB-Library 12.0 and later
with an Open Server that uses multithreaded or reentrant (*_r.*)
libraries and that runs on any UNIX system.
