Database Interface Designer adapters

The IBM Transformation Extender database adapters provide the connectivity to the RDBMS for retrieving input data and routing output data. Database adapters provide the option of using a driver to connect to the platform of your choice so you can automatically create type trees for database queries and tables.

The Windows-based database adapters are installed with the Database Interface Designer as part of the Design Studio. You can also install the database adapters on additional systems to provide remote database connectivity.

Note: Non-Windows database adapters do not require the Database Interface Designer if you plan to only use mtsmaker without a database/query file (.mdq) to generate each type tree. For information about using mtsmaker, see the Resource Adapters documentation.
