Re: [U2] UniODBC/UniOLEDB and Win2008? [ad]
Hi Kevin, [ad] (I thought I'd be honest and put this tag in here...) We can and do connect people to U2 data. We have customers doing some very interesting things with our products. And we support not just current U2, but PI/Open, mvEnterprise, mvBase, D3, and the list goes on... Our products were once known as Liberty ODBC but now our company is FusionWare Integration Corp. We have just recently gained control of the products for the first time since getting acquired by GA and the subsequent meltdown, so we are looking forward to doing a lot more in the community. Feel free to contact sa...@fwic.net for more information. :) [/ad] -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Kevin King Sent: Friday, April 23, 2010 11:23 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] UniODBC/UniOLEDB and Win2008?

Re: [U2] UniODBC/UniOLEDB and Win2008?
Hi Kevin, 64 bit applications will not be able to directly access 32 bit drivers. There are some tricks for working around this, but they are NOT elegant. We're looking at what we need to do to enable our older ODBC drivers to work with 64-bit apps and we're unfortunately probably looking at retargeting, which means drivers, setup routines and all related components recompiled... :( We may not bother, as we do have an ADO.NET provider which doesn't need any such thing, we'd rather look at extending it to support linked tables...

Re: [U2] UniODBC/UniOLEDB and Win2008?
Hi Kevin, On Windows 64 bit, there is a 64-bit odbcad32.exe (ODBC Administrator) and a 32-bit one. You have to run the 32-bit one to see 32-bit data sources like the UniODBC driver: C:\Windows>dir odbcad32.exe /s /p Volume in drive C is Preload Volume Serial Number is BCAB-EEE5 Directory of C:\Windows\System32 07/13/2009 06:39 PM90,112 odbcad32.exe 1 File(s) 90,112 bytes Directory of C:\Windows\SysWOW64 <--- This directory holds 32-bit versions of things 07/13/2009 06:14 PM86,016 odbcad32.exe 1 File(s) 86,016 bytes 32-bit versions have their own registry tree, so the 32-bit versions and 64-bit versions "see" different data sources. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Kevin King Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2010 12:52 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] UniODBC/UniOLEDB and Win2008?

Re: [U2] UniODBC/UniOLEDB and Win2008?
Phil's right. The thread at http://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems/1160164.htm gave me a little more info on that topic if you're curious as I was fighting with Windows Scripting Host 32/64 bit issues. Basically seems the first thing to try is running whatever you're wanting to run (cscript/wscript for me; odbcad32.exe for the ODBC manager) through the SysWOW64 folder first. %WINDIR%\System32\odbcad32.exe won't have UniData/UniVerse but %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe will have it for you. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of phil walker Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2010 4:11 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] UniODBC/UniOLEDB and Win2008?

Re: [U2] UniODBC/UniOLEDB and Win2008?
How would a person do such a thing? Doesn't Windows have just this one ODBC connection store and when you use a connection you use whatever Windows is going to use? Forgive me for what must seem like stupid Windows questions.
