APPX Database Interfaces

The database interfaces in APPX 5.0.0 have been updated to support newer versions. Support for DB2 is now only available on the RS/6000 platform.  Support for Microsoft Access is discontinued.

Line: 9 to 10
 APPX 5.0.0 supports three database interfaces and a variety of databases and versions. New releases of APPX are periodically updated to work with newer versions of the supported databases.  When APPX is updated to work with a newer version of a database, there is no assurance that the new version of APPX will work with the older version of the database.  Therefore, all APPX sites which use third party databases are encouraged to upgrade to a supported version of their database product at the same time that they upgrade to a new version of APPX.

Oracle

Changed:
<
<
APPX 5.0.0 supports the various editions of Oracle including the free Express Edition on all APPX platforms.
>
>
APPX 5.0.0 supports the various editions of Oracle listed below including the free Express Edition on all APPX platforms. APPX interfaces with the Oracle database via the Oracle Instant Client.  The corresponding version of the Oracle Instant Client must be installed on the same server as APPX. The APPX engine utilizes on-demand dynamic linking with the Oracle Instant Client libraries that are required to enable APPX to interface with Oracle.  The Oracle Instant Client libraries are only loaded by APPX if you attempt to interface with Oracle.

ODBC

The APPX ODBC database interface has been specifically tested with the databases and versions listed below and they are the only officially supported ODBC databases.  Since ODBC is a generic standard for accessing databases, it is possible that the APPX ODBC interface can be used to successfully access other databases and versions.  However, APPX Software, Inc. does not offer any assurance that any other databases or versions will work with APPX 5.0.0 or that they will continue to work with future releases of APPX.
