Identify the software requirements for InfoMaker.

Feature

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 16/17, PostgreSQL 11.3/12/13/14/15, or SQL Server 2016/2017/2019/2022.

A 32-bit ODBC driver is required as InfoMaker IDE is a 32-bit program.

To use the PostgreSQL engine, make sure both the PostgreSQL client (included in Command Line Tools) and PostgreSQL ODBC driver (32-bit) are installed.

To use the SQL Server engine, make sure the Database Engine Services and Client Tools Connectivity features are installed, and the "sa" database account is enabled.

If the installer does not detect SQL Anywhere, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server 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, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server first, then reinstall PowerBuilder.
