PH v8.x accessing Interbase via ODBC

[Joe Boyle]

I think Cognos stopped supporting Interbase back in 2003, and even then it
was only ever accessible via Native connection. 

 

And based on the assumption that PowerHouse libraries have to be updated as
ODBC for later versions of any RDB appear, once support stops for the
database in question, so upgrades for later ODBC versions would stop also.

 

The doc at
http://support.cognos.com/en/support/products/pdf/adt_se_05_2006.pdf shows
the ODBC options currently available; which suggest you are limited to
Sybase, MSSQLServer or DB2, but only if you upgrade to the latest PH
version.

Joe, 

Thank you for the information. However my question is if somebody has tried
to access a newer version of IB using PH 8.x in any platform. In our case we
are running in AIX, and the latest version that PH supports native access to
IB 4.0 is 8.23D7. Also to my seems very interesting if Cognos enables the
ODBC access to any DB. 

Regards 
Jose
