1. About This Document

This manual describes how to install and configure client applications that enable you to connect to and use a Trafodion database.

1.1. Intended Audience

This manual is intended for users who want to connect to and use a Trafodion database.

1.2. New and Changed Information

This manual shows updated versions for Trafodion Release 2.4.0.

1.3. Notation Conventions

This list summarizes the notation conventions for syntax presentation in this manual.

  • UPPERCASE LETTERS

    Uppercase letters indicate keywords and reserved words. Type these items exactly as shown. Items not enclosed in brackets are required.

    SELECT

  • lowercase letters

    Lowercase letters, regardless of font, indicate variable items that you supply. Items not enclosed in brackets are required.

    file-name

  • [ ] Brackets

    Brackets enclose optional syntax items.

    DATETIME [start-field TO] end-field

    A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list from which you can choose one item or none.

    The items in the list can be arranged either vertically, with aligned brackets on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by vertical lines.

    For example:

    DROP SCHEMA schema [CASCADE]
DROP SCHEMA schema [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

  • { } Braces

    Braces enclose required syntax items.

    FROM { grantee [, grantee ] ... }

    A group of items enclosed in braces is a list from which you are required to choose one item.

    The items in the list can be arranged either vertically, with aligned braces on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of braces and separated by vertical lines.

    For example:

    INTERVAL { start-field TO end-field }
{ single-field }
INTERVAL { start-field TO end-field | single-field }

  • | Vertical Line

    A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in brackets or braces.

{expression | NULL}

  • … Ellipsis

    An ellipsis immediately following a pair of brackets or braces indicates that you can repeat the enclosed sequence of syntax items any number of times.

    ATTRIBUTE[S] attribute [, attribute] ...
{, sql-expression } ...

    An ellipsis immediately following a single syntax item indicates that you can repeat that syntax item any number of times.

    For example:

    expression-n ...

  • Punctuation

    Parentheses, commas, semicolons, and other symbols not previously described must be typed as shown.

    DAY (datetime-expression)
@script-file

    Quotation marks around a symbol such as a bracket or brace indicate the symbol is a required character that you must type as shown.

    For example:

    "{" module-name [, module-name] ... "}"

  • Item Spacing

    Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is a punctuation symbol such as a parenthesis or a comma.

    DAY (datetime-expression) DAY(datetime-expression)

    If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In this example, no spaces are permitted between the period and any other items:

    myfile.sh

  • Line Spacing

    If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each continuation line is indented three spaces and is separated from the preceding line by a blank line.

    This spacing distinguishes items in a continuation line from items in a vertical list of selections.

    match-value [NOT] LIKE _pattern
   [ESCAPE esc-char-expression]

3. Preparation

Trafodion provides JDBC and ODBC drivers plus clients that use those drivers. In addition, you can configure third-party JDBC- and ODBC-based tools to work with Trafodion.

Typically, you install and configure the client software in the following order:

  1. JDBC and/or ODBC drivers. (Depending on what clients you plan to use.)

  2. Trafodion clients. For example, trafci and odb.

  3. Third-party clients. For example, DBVisualizer, SQuirell, and/or Tableau.

If you don’t plan to use JDBC-based clients, then please skip ahead to Download Client Software.

3.1. Java Setup

The Trafodion JDBC Type 4 Driver requires Java 1.7 or higher. You need to set the Java path to the correct location.

Depending on your planned usage, you install the Java Development Kit (JDK, if you plan to develop Java-based applications) or the Java Runtime Environment (JRE, if you plan to use packaged JDBC-based products only).

3.1.1. Verify Java Version

To display the Java version of the client workstation on the screen, enter:

java -version
Example 1: Java Installed and PATH Variable Set Correctly
C:\> java -version

java version "1.7.0_45" # This is the version you need to check
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode, sharing)
C:\>

If the version is not 1.7 or higher, then please upgrade you Java installation See Install Java.

If the version is 1.7 or higher, then skip ahead to Download Client Software.

Example 2: Path Not Set
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.`

If you have installed Java, then this message indicates that you’ve not included the Java directory in your search path. See Set Up PATH Variable.

3.1.2. Install Java

4.3. Set Up Client Environment

4.3.1. Java Development

If you plan to write and run Java applications that use the Trafodion JDBC Type 4 Driver to connect to a Trafodion database, then set these environment variables on the client workstation, replacing jdk-directory with the location of your Java Development Kit and replacing jdbc-installation-directory with the name of the directory where you downloaded the JDBC Type 4 driver:

Environment Variable On Windows On Linux

JAVA_HOME

set JAVA_HOME="jdk-directory"1

export JAVA_HOME=jdk-directory

PATH

set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

CLASSPATH

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;_jdbc-installation-directory_\lib\jdbcT4.jar;

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:_jdbc-installation-directory_/lib/jdbcT4.jar:

1 Enclose the jdk-directory in quotes to ensure that Windows can find the directory correctly. You can use the set <variable> command to verify the setting.

4.3.2. Configure Applications

Edit the t4jdbc.properties file in the samples folder. Refer to the README file in the samples folder for instructions.

Set these values for your environment:

  • catalog: Specify a catalog that exists in the database.

  • schema: Specify a schema that exists in the database.

  • user: Specify the name of a user who will be accessing the database.

  • password: Specify the password of a user who will be accessing the database.

  • url: Specify this string: jdbc:t4jdbc://<host-name>:<port-number>/:

<host-name> is the IP address or host name of the database platform.

<port-number> is the location where the Trafodion Database Connectivity Service (DCS) is running. (Default: 23400).

See the Trafodion Database Connectivity Services Reference Guide for information about how to configure the DCS port.

Example

In this example, Trafodion authentication has not been enabled. Therefore, you can use a dummy user and password. If authentication is enabled, then use your user and password information.

catalog = TRAFODION
schema = SEABASE
user = usr
password = pwd

url = jdbc:t4jdbc://trafodion.host.com:23400/:
The driver’s class name is org.trafodion.jdbc.t4.T4Driver.

4.4. Test Programs

You must use JDK and set up the environmental variables as documented in Java Development to build the test programs.

The README file in the samples folder provide information for how you build and run sample Java programs. You can use these programs to verify the setup of the Trafodion JDBC Type-4 driver.

See the Validate Install Directory section above for information on the different sample programs that are included with the Trafodion JDBC Type-4 driver.

Windows Example

Build and run the StatementSample test program to verify the JDBC Type-4 driver installation.

8.1. Installation Requirements

If you have not done so already, please ensure that you have unpackaged the Trafodion client software.

In addition, the ODBC driver for Linux requires libgcc 3.4.3 and libstd++ 6.0.

If you are building ODBC applications, please use the preferred build platform, RedHat 6.x or CentOS 6.x.

The examples in this chapter assumes that you have unpackaged the JDBC Type for installation files to $HOME/trafodion/odbc.

8.2. Validate Install Directory

$HOME/trafodion/odbc/PkgTmp should contain:

connect_test.cpp
install.sh
libicudataNv44.so.44
libicuucNv44.so.44
libtrafodbc_l64.so
libtrafodbc_l64_drvr.so
LICENSE
license.txt
MD5SUM
TRAFDSN

By default, a new version of the Trafodion ODBC driver is installed in the following directories unless you specify a different directory during installation:

  • /usr/lib64

  • /etc/odbc

The following header files are not packaged with the Trafodion ODBC driver:

- sql.h
- sqlext.h
- sqltypes.h
- sqlucode.h

To install those header files, Set Up Client Environment below.

8.3. Install/Reinstall Linux ODBC Driver

You must have root (sudo) access to install the Trafodion ODBC Driver for Linux at the default system location. If you don’t have such access, the install the ODBC driver to an alternate location; for example: $HOME/trafodion/odbc.

  1. Install the product by entering these commands:

    With sudo Access

    cd $HOME/trafodion/odbc/PkgTmp
sudo ./install.sh

    Without sudo Access

    cd $HOME/trafodion/odbc/PkgTmp
./install.sh

    Except for the sample file, the install.sh script saves a copy (.SAV) of your previous installation files if they exist.

  2. Accept the terms of the license agreement by entering yes.

    Don’t use environmental variables when specifying alternative location. Instead, use the full path. For example, specify /opt/user/trafodion/odbc instead of $HOME/trafodion/odbc.

  3. Enter a directory for the library files, or press Enter to use the default directory (/usr/lib64).

  4. Enter a directory for the data-source template file, or press Enter to use the default directory (/etc/odbc).

  5. Enter a directory for the sample program, or press Enter to use the default directory (/etc/odbc).

  6. If you installed the library files, data-source template file, and the sample program in an alternative location, then verify the directory content:

8.3.1. Set Up Client Environment

If you selected default options during installation, ensure that:

  • The libraries are located in the /usr/lib64 directory.

  • A TRAFDSN file is in the /etc/odbc directory.

If you select non-default locations during installation, ensure that the files are installed in the directories that you specified during installation:

$ cd $HOME/trafodion/odbc
$ ls
connect_test.cpp  libicuuc.so       libtrafodbc_drvr64.so      libtrafodbc_l64.so    PkgTmp
libicudata.so     libicuuc.so.44    libtrafodbc_l64_drvr.so    libtrafodbc_l64.so.1  TRAFDSN
libicudata.so.44  libtrafodbc64.so  libtrafodbc_l64_drvr.so.1  MD5SUM

$

The driver expects the TRAFDSN file to be present in either the default location (/etc/odbc) or the current working direct or (CWD) of the application. As a best practice, copy the TRAFDSN file to the application directory.

Edit the TRAFDSN file. Make changes to the Default_DataSource section. At a minimum, change the value for Server to the address of the host you are connecting to.

Catalog                     = TRAFODION
Schema                      = SEABASE
DataLang                    = 0
FetchBufferSize             = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
Server                      = TCP:node01.host.com:23400
SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
SQL_LOGIN_TIMEOUT           = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT           = NO_TIMEOUT

If you are building ODBC applications, you need to install these header files in your build environment:

  • sql.h

  • sqlext.h

  • sqltypes.h

  • sqlucode.h

To install those header files from the latest packages, run this yum command:

sudo yum -y install libiodbc libiodbc-devel

The yum command automatically installs the header files in the /usr/include and /usr/include/libiodbc directories.

8.3.2. Enable Compression

When compression is enabled in the ODBC driver, the ODBC driver can send and receive large volumes of data quickly and efficiently to and from the Trafodion Database Connectivity Services (DCS) server over a TCP/IP network. By default, compression is disabled.

To enable compression in the ODBC driver or to change the compression setting, follow these steps:

  • If you are using the Trafodion ODBC driver manager, add

    Compression = compression-level

    to the DSN section of TRAFDSN file.

  • If you are using a third-party driver manager, such as unixODBC, add

    Compression = compression-level

    to the DSN section of the odbc.ini file.

The compression-level is one of these values:

  • SYSTEM_DEFAULT, which is the same as no compression

  • no compression

  • best speed

  • best compression

  • balance

  • An integer from 0 to 9, with 0 being no compression and 9 being the maximum available compression

Example

[Default_DataSource]
Description                 = Default Data Source
Catalog                     = TRAFODION
Schema                      = SEABASE
DataLang                    = 0
FetchBufferSize             = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
Server                      = TCP:node01.host.com:23400
SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
SQL_LOGIN_TIMEOUT           = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT           = NO_TIMEOUT
Compression                 = Best Compression

8.4. Use Third-Party Driver Manager

For better performance, we recommend that you use at least version 2.3.x of unixODBC.

  • If you are using an external driver manager, then you must point to libtrafodbc_drvr64.so and not to libtrafodbc64.so.

  • The driver, libtrafodbc_l64_drvr.so, has been verified with iODBC and unixODBC driver managers.

  • These driver managers, as well as documentation, can be found at these Web sites:

  • For information on the necessary data-source configuration options, you will need to add to the respective configuration files (for example, to odbc.ini).

8.5. Run Sample Program (connect_test)

The examples after each step assume that you have default installation directories.

If you have a previous version of the Trafodion ODBC driver installed, you need to re-link your existing application to ensure that you pick up the correct version of the driver. If you are unsure of the version, check the version of your application with this command:

ldd object-file

  1. Move to the directory where you installed the sample program:

    cd /etc/odbc

  2. Set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path-to-odbc-library-files or /usr/lib64>

    Example

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64

  3. In the /etc/odbc/TRAFDSN file, add the correct IP address to the Server parameter for the Default_DataSource.

    Example (connecting to node01.host.com:23400)

    [Default_DataSource]
Description                 = Default Data Source
Catalog                     = TRAFODION
Schema                      = SEABASE
DataLang                    = 0
FetchBufferSize             = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
Server                      = TCP:node01.host.com:23400
SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
SQL_LOGIN_TIMEOUT           = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT           = NO_TIMEOUT
Compression                 = Best Compression

  4. Compile the sample program.

    Default Installation

    g++ -g connect_test.cpp -L/usr/lib64 -I/usr/include/odbc -ltrafodbc64 -o connect_test

    Alterntiave Installation

    g++ -g connect_test.cpp -L$HOME/trafodion/odbc -I/usr/include/odbc -ltrafodbc64 -o connect_test

  5. Run the sample program:

    ./connect_test -d Default_DataSource -u username -p password

If the sample program runs successfully, you should see output similar to the following:

Using Connect String: DSN=Default_DataSource;UID=username;PWD=****;
Connect Test Passed...

8.6. Run Sample Program (basicsql)

The Basic SQL sample program is not currently bundled with the ODBC Linux driver. To obtain the source code for this program, see basicsql (Sample ODBC Program).

If you have a previous version of the Trafodion ODBC driver installed, you need to re-link your existing application to ensure that you pick up the correct version of the driver.

If you are unsure of the version, check the version of your application with this command:

ldd object-file

  1. Move to the directory where you put the basicsql.cpp file.

  2. Set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path-to-odbc-driver-dlls>

  3. In the /etc/odbc/TRAFDSN file, add the correct IP address to the Server parameter for the Default_DataSource. For example:

    Example (connecting to node01.host.com:23400)

    [Default_DataSource]
Description                 = Default Data Source
Catalog                     = TRAFODION
Schema                      = SEABASE
DataLang                    = 0
FetchBufferSize             = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
Server                      = TCP:node01.host.com:23400
SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
SQL_LOGIN_TIMEOUT           = SYSTEM_DEFAULT
SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT           = NO_TIMEOUT
Compression                 = Best Compression

  4. Compile the sample program.

    Default Installation

    g++ -g basicsql.cpp -L/usr/lib64 -I/usr/include/odbc -ltrafodbc64 -o basicsql

    Alterntiave Installation

    g++ -g basicsql.cpp -L$HOME/trafodion/odbc -I/usr/include/odbc -ltrafodbc64 -o basicsql

  5. Run the sample program:

    ./basicsql Default_DataSource <username> <password>

If the sample program runs successfully, you should see output similar to the following:

Using Connect String: DSN=Default_DataSource;UID=user1;PWD=pwd1;
Successfully connected using SQLDriverConnect.
Drop sample table if it exists... Creating sample table TASKS...
Table TASKS created using SQLExecDirect.
Inserting data using SQLBindParameter, SQLPrepare, SQLExecute Data

9. Install odb

If you have not done so already, please ensure that you have unpackaged the Trafodion client software and setup the Trafodion Linux ODBC Driver.

The examples in this chapter assumes that you have unpackaged the odb installation file to $HOME/trafodion/odb.

9.1. odb Requirements

odb requires:

  • pthread libraries (Generally installed by default)

  • unixODBC. See installation instructions below.

9.2. Install and Configure unixODBC

This section explains how to install and configure unixODBC. Refer to the unixODBC documentation for additional configuration information.

  1. Obtain the source code tar ball from http://www.unixodbc.org/ Use version 2.3.x or later.

  2. Unpack the tar ball:

    $ tar -xzvf unixODBC-2.3.1.tar.gz

  3. Configure unixODBC installation (root access required):

    $ cd unixODBC-2.3.1
$ sudo ./configure --disable-gui --enable-threads --disable-drivers

    unixODBC is installed under /usr/local.

    If you don’t have root privileges or you want to install unixODBC somewhere else then add --prefix=<installation_path> to the configure command here above.

    Example - Install unixODBC in Alternate Location

    $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/trafodion/unixodbc --disable-gui --enable-threads --disable-drivers

  4. Compile unixODBC sources:

    $ make

  5. Install unixODBC:

$ make install

9.2.1. Configure unixODBC

  1. Define environment variables.

  2. Define data sources.

Start with the environment variables (which you can add to your profile script):

  1. Set the ODBCHOME variable to the unixODBC installation directory (the one configured via --prefix here above).

    Example

    $ export ODBCHOME=$HOME/trafodion/unixodbc

  2. Configure the system data sources directory (the one containing odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini). Normally, the etc/ directory under $ODBCHOME:

    $ export ODBCSYSINI=$ODBCHOME/etc

  3. Configure the ODBCINI variable to the full path of the odbc.ini file:

    $ export ODBCINI=$ODBCSYSINI/odbc.ini

  4. Add the unixODBC lib directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Linux) or LIBPATH (IBM AIX) or SHLIB_PATH (HP/UX):

    $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ODBCHOME/lib

9.2.2. Configure Data Sources

* Level 1 - The driver is protected down to the statement level
* each statement will be protected, and the same for the connect
* level for connect functions, note that descriptors are considered
* equal to statements when it comes to thread protection.
*

* Level 2 - The driver is protected at the connection level. only
* one thread can be in a particular driver at one time
*

* Level 3 - The driver is protected at the env level, only one thing
* at a time.
*

* By default the driver open connections with a lock level of 0,
* drivers should be expected to be thread safe now.
* this can be changed by adding the line
*

* Threading = N
*
* to the driver entry in odbcinst.ini, where N is the locking level
*
*/

9.3. Verify odb Installation

    Check that no space exists after the semicolon (;) in the path. If there are spaces in the directory name, delimit the entire directory path in double quotes (") before the semicolon.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Verify that the updated Path appears under System variables, and click OK.

  8. In the System Properties dialog box, click OK to accept the changes.

For a full installation, a sample PATH variable may contain:

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101\;C:\trafodion\trafci\bin\;

12.1.2. Set PATH Variable on Linux

  1. Open the user profile (.profile or .bash_profile for the Bash shell) in the $HOME directory.

    cd $HOME
vi .profile

  2. In the user profile, set the PATH environment variable to include the path of the Java or Trafodion client bin directory.

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0/bin
    Place the path of the Java bin directory after $PATH separated by colon (:).

  3. To activate the changes, either log out and log in again or source in the user profile.

    source profile

For a full installation, a sample PATH variable may contain:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0/bin:/opt/user/trafodion/trafci/bin

12.1.3. Verify PATH Variable

Ensure that you can access the Java or Trafodion client from the command line.
