Database

The installable cloud app can work with the following databases through their native driver for .NET Core in PowerServer:

  • IBM DB2 UDB 11.x

  • Informix 12.x or 14.x

  • MySQL 5.6, 5.7, or 8.0

  • Oracle 12c, 18c, 19c, 21c, or 23ai

  • PostgreSQL 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16

  • SQL Server 2016, 2017, 2019, or 2022, or Azure SQL Database (latest SQL Server engine as at September 2020)

The installable cloud app can work with the following databases through the ODBC driver for .NET Core in PowerServer:

  • ASE (ODBC) 16.0

    Different from the PowerBuilder runtime environment where the ASE database is connected using the native driver, ASE databases can only be connected using the ODBC driver in the PowerServer runtime environment. This driver change has caused some differences. See ASE database for more details.

  • SQL Anywhere (ODBC) 16 (16.0.0.2043 or later) or 17

    If SQL Anywhere is on a different machine from PowerBuilder, make sure to enable the connection pooling setting in the ODBC driver. Connection pooling is enabled by default if SQL Anywhere is on the same machine as PowerBuilder.

    It is recommended to create and start the SQL Anywhere service in Sybase Central, when Web APIs is running in a production environment. For more, refer to here.
