Specifies the default database driver that will be used at runtime.
Syntax:
LYCIA_DB_DRIVER={informix, odbc, oracle}
Possible values:
informix (default) |
enables native connection to Informix® databases |
oracle |
enables native connection to Oracle® databases |
odbc |
enables the general ODBC interface |
Usage and examples:
By default, the Informix database driver is used at runtime.
If necessary, you can change the default database driver in several different ways:
→ by setting the LYCIA_DB_DRIVER environment variable in env.properties (for compilation), in inet.env (for runtime), and in environ.bat (if you use Lycia Command Line):
LYCIA_DB_DRIVER=oracle
→ by modifying the database.cfg file,
→ at runtime - by the CONNECT TO statement,
→ for compilation - in LyciaStudio in the Database preferences page.
Environment variables has the lowest precedence that is why the LYCIA_DB_DRIVER value will be overwritten by all other methods.
