ODBC Database Compatibility

To use the Durable Writer History and Durable Reader State features, you must install a relational database such as MySQL.

In principle, you can use any database that provides an ODBC driver, since ODBC is a standard. However, not all ODBC databases support the same feature set. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the persistent durability features will work with an arbitrary ODBC driver.

We have tested the following driver: MySQL ODBC 5.1.44.

Starting with 4.5e, support for the TimesTen database has been removed.

To use MySQL, you also need MySQL ODBC 5.1.6 (or higher). For non-Windows platforms, UnixODBC 2.2.12 (or higher) is also required.

To see if a specific architecture has been tested with the Durable Writer History and Durable Reader State features, see the RTI Connext DDS Core Libraries Platform Notes.

For more information on database setup, please see the RTI Connext DDS Core Libraries Getting Started Guide Addendum for Database Setup.
