SQL Anywhere 12/16/17, PostgreSQL 12/13/14/15, SQL Server 2016/2017/2019/2022. An ODBC driver will be used to connect with the demo database. To use the PostgreSQL engine, make sure both the PostgreSQL client (included in Command Line Tools of the PostgreSQL Windows installer) and PostgreSQL ODBC driver (32-bit & 64-bit) are installed. To use the SQL Server engine, make sure the Database Engine Services and Client Tools Connectivity features are installed. 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 will install the demo database files but will not set up the database connection automatically. You can manually configure the database connection by following instructions in Installing PowerBuilder demo applications and database. |
