U/SQL Client Installation on 64 bit Windows

September 15, 2008 at 10:14 am | In USQL | Comments Off

From U/SQL 4.21, the U/SQL Client Installation was changed so that, if the U/SQL Client is installed on x64 Windows, both the 64 bit and 32 bit Transoft ODBC drivers will be installed.

The 64 bit Transoft ODBC driver DLLs are:

  • tsods64.dll
  • tsodbc64.dll

x64 Windows platforms include two versions of the Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Data Source Administrator (odbcad32.exe) :

  • The 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %WINDIR%\SysWoW64 folder.
  • The 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %WINDIR%\System32 folder.

To create a new 64 bit DSN, for example books.udd

  1. Install U/SQL 64 bit client on an x64 Windows machine
  2. Use the 64-bit ODBC Administrator to add a new data source. Choose the 64 bit Transoft ODBC Driver.
  3. Connect this 64 bit DSN to any U/SQL Server, either on Windows or on UNIX.
