InstallAnywhere includes built-in support for managing the following types of SQL databases:
|
•
|
DB2 9.0, 9.7, 10.1, and 10.5 |

InstallAnywhere also lets you use generic JDBC connections if you need to run SQL scripts on a type of database for which InstallAnywhere does not have built-in support.
The database support within InstallAnywhere enables you to do the following:
|
•
|
Connect to local servers. |
|
•
|
Run different SQL scripts during installation and uninstallation. |
Support for MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, and PostgreSQL databases offers the following additional support:
|
•
|
Connect to remote SQL servers. |
|
•
|
Display run-time panels or consoles that enable end users to specify connection information such as the name of the server, as well as the credentials that should be used to connect to the server through server authentication. |
|
•
|
Enable end users to test the connection information that they entered. |
|
•
|
Optionally create SQL databases on servers. (This is not available for DB2 databases.) |
This section of the documentation explains how to configure the aforementioned support in your projects.
