The demonstration databases for the DataServer for ODBC allow you to run the tutorials from this chapter, code examples, or your own procedures.
The demonstration databases are not part of the OpenEdge installation media. To create and initialize a demonstration data source, you run the OpenEdge DB-to-ODBC utility, which migrates the OpenEdge Sports database to your ODBC data source and then creates a schema holder. (See Preparing to create demonstration databases for detailed instructions.) After you do this, you are ready to run the tutorial exercises or your own OpenEdge applications against the data source.
Before you create a demonstration database, be sure that your system meets the following prerequisites:
Sufficient ODBC data-source privileges to create a database, add users, and create tables
Sufficient ODBC data-source privileges to create a database, add users, and create tables
