ODBC - c-tree Plus Edition

Getting Started with Your Data

The FairCom Data Dictionary, the Driver’s catalog of available data files, created in the previous chapter was specific to the sample tutorial. This chapter helps you get an ODBC compliant application operational with your c-tree Plus data. To take full advantage of the c-tree ODBC Driver features, consult “ODBC/Application Setup” and “Advanced Topics” for additional application setup information and performance tips.

• There are a few ways to provide the information needed to build the data dictionary: with a vendor-supplied script, by browsing for the files, or with a locally-created script.
• If your vendor provided a script, this is the simplest solution. Proceed to “Installing a Vendor Supplied Script.”
• To simply browse your disks for the necessary files, proceed to “Browse Method.”
• If you know the names and locations of the files and would like to create a script, proceed to “Script Method.”
