Dedicated Support Connectivity Options

Rapid SQL provides dedicated connectivity to a specific version range of Amazon Redshift, IBM DB2 for Linux, Unix, and Windows, IBM DB2 for z/OS, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase, and Teradata databases. The following connectivity options are provided:

  • Native IDERA drivers: Rapid SQL is packaged with a set of native drivers, each requiring a DBMS-specific client to be installed.
  • JDBC drivers: Rapid SQL can connect to a datasource more directly using one of the packaged, third-party JDBC drivers. No additional connectivity components need to be installed. One or more third-party drivers, tested against Rapid SQL, are installed with Rapid SQL.

The following table provides a summary of resources/requirements for connectivity to dedicated DBMS platforms. For each platform, it lists supported versions, the client software that must be installed if using native IDERA clients, and the third-party, Type 4 JDBC drivers packaged with Rapid SQL.

* About Technical Previews - Technical previews are intended to introduce a new DBMS platform only. The available functionality is typically minimal. For example, command Line startup, standard datasource registration and connection features, limited Datasource Navigator tree functionality, a minimal set of object actions, as well as SQL Editor execution and related, common SQL Editor functionality such as Query Options, Paste SQL Syntax, and Paste SQL Statement.

Generic JDBC/ODBC Connectivity

Generic JDBC/ODBC connectivity to non-dedicated DBMS systems or non-database datasources is also provided. Rapid SQL can connect to a datasource using a customer-provided, third-party JDBC version 4.0 or ODBC version 3.0 driver. Minimal Rapid SQL functionality is provided, including a basic Explorer tree and SQL querying.

IBM DB2 for z/OS Stored Procedure Requirements

When working against an IBM DB2 for z/OS data source, Rapid SQL relies on the following stored procedures, provided as an optional installation step in setting up the DB2 subsystem:

  • DSNWZP
  • DSNUTILS
  • ADMIN_COMMAND_DSN
  • ADMIN_COMMAND_DB2

Prior to using Rapid SQL against an IBM DB2 for z/OS data source, ensure that these components are installed on the server. See IBM DB2 for z/OS documentation for more information.
