Supported versions for
Oracle
PowerBuilder provides three Oracle database interfaces. These
interfaces use different DLLs and access different versions of
Oracle.
|
Oracle interface |
DLL |
|---|---|
|
O10 Oracle 10g |
PBO10170.DLL |
|
ORA Oracle 11g/12c |
PBORA170.DLL |
The ORA database interface allows you to connect to Oracle
11g/12c servers using Oracle 11g/12c Database Client or Oracle
11g/12c Instant Client. It includes partial support for the
XMLType datatype that it maps to the PowerBuilder String datatype. It also
supports session and connection pooling, load balancing, the Oracle Client
Cache, setting of an application driver name, and access through a proxy.
Oracle 11g clients can also connect to Oracle 10g servers.
The O10 database interface allows you to connect to Oracle
10g servers using Oracle 10g Database Client or Oracle 10g Instant Client.
It supports BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE datatypes and increased size
limits for CLOB and NCLOB datatypes. Oracle 10g clients can connect to
Oracle 10g servers.
