Required Software

The following table lists the software required for InfoMaker features.

Most of this software is not installed automatically when the feature is installed. Read this table to determine whether you need to install any software before you run the installer.

Tutorials, demo database, and code examples

SQL Anywhere 12 thru 17 or PostgreSQL 10, 11, or 12.

If you want to use the PostgreSQL engine, make sure both the PostgreSQL client (included in Command Line Tools) and PostgreSQL ODBC driver are installed.

If the installer does not detect SQL Anywhere or PostgreSQL on your computer, it displays a warning. If you choose to continue, the installer does not install the tutorials or register the demo databases. To use these features later, install SQL Anywhere or PostgreSQL first, then reinstall PowerBuilder.
