Contacting Inmagic, Inc. and Communicating with Others
Inmagic® ODBC Driver version 1.30 for Content Server works with Content Server version 1.30. You should use ODBC Driver version 1.30 only if you have Content Server version 1.30 or later installed.
Use the Inmagic ODBC Driver for Content Server to develop custom or vertical applications that retrieve and manipulate data from Inmagic® Content Server textbases. You can combine data from multiple textbases, combine data from Content Server with data from other databases, or use third-party applications. You can also create Web-based applications, such as editing database records from a Web browser, or build Web applications using third-party Web development tools.
The ODBC Driver processes SQL statements and ODBC function calls against the Content Server database engine. The ODBC Driver provides a way to obtain information from and write information to Content Server textbases. The textbases you plan to access can be anywhere accessible to the ODBC Driver.
There are two types of ODBC Drivers: a desktop version and a server version. If you purchased the desktop version, you can install it on a single computer. The desktop version supports no more than one connection at a time. If you purchased the server version, you can install it on a single server. The server version supports multiple simultaneous connections.
After installing the product, you have to assign a data source name (DSN) and configure it to work with the Inmagic ODBC Driver. To do this, see the "To configure a data source for the ODBC Driver" section in the installation notes document for the Inmagic ODBC Driver or see the "Configuring a Data Source" topic in its online help. To access the help file, from the Start menu, choose Programs>Inmagic Applications>ODBC Driver for Content Server>Online Help.
After you create your DSNs, you can use them for your intended purposes.
The Inmagic ODBC Driver comes with the following documentation:
For a list of error messages that can be returned by the ODBC Driver, see the "Error Messages" topic in its online help file.
For help, you can contact Inmagic, Inc. or your local Inmagic dealer. You can also communicate with other Inmagic users.
If you have a Technical Support contract, please have the contract number ready, and try to be at your computer when you call. If that is not possible, note exactly what you were doing when you encountered the problem, the exact text of any error messages you received, and your Content Server version and serial number (start CS/TextWorks, which is one of the components of Content Server, and choose Help>About CS/TextWorks to look it up). If you do not have a Technical Support contract, you can contact Inmagic Sales to purchase a support plan.
