What about Database-Applications?

Post by nullomat »

Hello, I'm new to the Forum.

I Try Wine under OpenSUSE 10.3. Version of Wine is 0.9.4.4.

I tried to install some applications which are using Databases (Parts-Catalogues). I tried some Programs, but none of them are working under wine. I think there a problem in using Databases.

Has anybody installed such a program or can give me hints about this?

regards

I imagine you mean 0.9.44, but that's still a pretty old version of Wine; you should upgrade to the latest one. As for your question about databases, it's really too general to answer--some programs work, some don't. Check the AppDB for the ones you are trying to install, and if you still need help, post questions here describing the specific problem you are having.

You have to install all the pieces that are used to connect to databases. Wine has no DB drivers at all. So if you have a program that connects to Oracle - install oracle DB client. You might need to manually configure ODBC. Or use native ODBC connection manager.

Yes many people installed such programs and successfully use them.

Ok, actual these Programs are the "electronic Parts Catalogue" from Honda an the Programm "Stakis" from a Company called "Stahlgruber".

The first one uses Sybase as DB, from the Second one I dont know what type of DB is used.
