Progress® DataDirect® driver usage in extensions
If you need custom database access beyond that provided by Corticon's Enterprise Data Connector (EDC) or Advanced Data Callout (ADC) you can now use the DataDirect® drivers bundled with Corticon in your extensions and wrappers. Corticon provides a new factory method for getting a connection to a database. It connects to a database using a DataDirect driver and returns a standard java.sql.Connection object. You work with this Connection object the same as you would any Connection in Java.
The ICcDataObjectManager class now provides a method to retrieve an instance of IDatabaseDriverManager. This new class provides the getConnection(…) method that can be used to create a database connection using a bundled DataDirect driver. See the Corticon JavaDoc for details on these classes and methods.
Note: EDC License - A valid EDC license is required, otherwise the factory method returns an error.
