Supported platforms for ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, .NET, and Go Driver

The Netezza Performance Server ODBC and JDBC clients, OLE DB provider, and .NET Provider are supported on multiple platforms.

Note: The library libnsl.so.2 is not available on RHEL 9. As a result, any CLI that depends on libnsl.so.2 is not compatible with this version of RHEL.

error:
$ ldd /usr/local/nz/bin64/nz/nzsql | grep "not found"
        libnsl.so.2 => not found

As a workaround, relink the missing library with the one available on RH9 system.

# cd /lib64
# ln -s libnsl.so.x.0.0 libnsl.so.2    // e.g libnsl.so.3.0.0
# ldd -r /path/to/binary               // ldd -r nzsql

For more information, see libnsl.so.2 not available in RHEL 9.

The platforms are listed in the tables in this topic. Typically, the Netezza Performance Server clients also support the update releases for each of the operating system versions that are listed in the tables, unless the operating system vendor introduced architecture changes in the update.
