StarSQL is available as an ODBC driver for Windows- and UNIX-based computers, and as a JDBC driver for any computer that has the Java Runtime Engine (JRE) or Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed. The StarQuest floating license allows for you to install any version of the StarSQL driver on any number of client computers and use a license only when a connection to a DB2 host is requested.
The StarSQL for Windows driver is a Unicode driver that is compliant with the ODBC v3.0 specification. The StarSQL driver resides on the Windows computer and enables ODBC applications to transparently access data that resides in a DB2 database on a host computer. See Host Requirements and Network Requirements for details of the host databases and network connections that StarSQL supports.
StarSQL for Windows includes a 32-bit driver and a 64-bit ODBC driver that can take advantage of Windows x64 architecture. You can install and run both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of the StarSQL driver on the same 64-bit Windows computer. Install and run only the 32-bit version of the StarSQL driver on a 32-bit Windows computer. The StarSQL for Windows User's Guide provides details for installing one or both versions of the driver software.
