Database Connectivity

 

Nearly all 4GL programs require access to a database server, and so it is necessary to provide Lycia 3 with the connection details for that server. There are several different methods for this; which one you use is dependent on your platform.

 

Since Querix 4GL is a complete implementation of Informix 4GL, all database connections are made to emulate Informix connection conventions, which ensures that your 4GL source code requires no changes to access multiple RDBMSs.

 

Database connections are discussed in more detail in the various topics dedicated to the databases as well as in the Developer Guide. This very topic outlines only the basic steps, required for connecting to the main supported databases.
