More About Database Requirements

WBT Manager has been tested with Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and Oracle Server 8.1.5, 8.1.7, 9.0.1, and 9.2.0. Other DBMSs may be useable but customer support would be limited.

To use a database with WBT Manager, the ODBC drivers for the database must support dynamic recordsets from C++ and ADO recordsets from Active Server Pages. The database itself must have support for the following datatypes.

• Long Integer (32 bits or more)
• Floating Point
• Character (up to 256 characters long
• Long Character (up to 4096 characters long)
• DateTime with resolution of 1 second or better

* Ansi types for these are: Integer, Float, Char, VarChar, Long VarChar, and TimeStamp.

* SQL Server types are: Int, Float, Char, VarChar, Text, and DateTime.

* Oracle types are: Integer, Float, VarChar2, Long VarChar, and Date.
