How do I connect my application to your driver?
For assistance on configuring a connection, see each product's Quick Start section. You can verify that the connection is set up correctly by testing your connection according to the instructions in those documents, and you can also use the Test Applications to connect to your data source.
Due to the variety of Third Party applications available, we are unable to provide documentation on using our products with all possible applications. Each application should provide its own documentation on how to connect to an external data source.
Do the evaluation products provide limited functionality as compared to the licensed products?
All evaluation products are fully functional. There are no limitations such as number of connections, number of open statements, etc. The only difference between the evaluation and licensed products is a restriction on the number of days a valid evaluation license will operate.
