Improved
Explain Plan Support
Adds Support
for DB2 LUW and Sybase 16
Rapid SQL includes support for DB2
LUW 11 and Sybase 16.
Before
using Rapid SQL, please verify that your environment meets the requirements
listed below:
NOTE: Users need
full registry privileges during the installation and access to the keys under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the registry after installation.
Rapid
SQL requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 or later.
IDERA recommends the following minimum hardware requirements:
Rapid SQL supports the following operating systems:
Windows
7 Support Notes - Windows 7 provides two user types: Standard users and
Administrators. Rapid SQL can be installed or uninstalled by an administrator
or by a standard user using an administrator token. Standard users can run
Rapid SQL. For the purpose of running Rapid SQL, default standard user token
privileges should not be modified. Modifying standard user token privileges can
result in licensing issues which will prevent Rapid SQL from operating
properly.
32-BIT
VERSUS 64-BIT APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
If you install the 64-bit version
of Rapid SQL and you are using custom drivers, you must be using 64-bit
versions of those drivers when using the 64-bit version of Rapid SQL.
Similarly, 32-bit versions of custom drivers must be used with the 32-bit Rapid
SQL installation.
For version control integration, if you install the 64-bit version
of Rapid SQL, you can work with either a 32-bit or 64-bit MSSCCI provider. The
feature is controlled from the Options Editor's Version Control tab (File
> Options > General > Version Control).
Dedicated
Support Connectivity Options
Rapid SQL provides dedicated connectivity to a specific version
range of IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, IBM DB2 for z/OS,
InterBase/Firebird, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Sybase,
and Teradata databases.
The following connectivity options are provided:
The
following table provides a summary of resources/requirements for connectivity
to dedicated DBMS platforms. For each platform, it lists supported versions,
the client software, driver, or client/driver combination that must be
installed if using native IDERA clients, and the third-party, Type 4 JDBC
drivers packaged with Rapid SQL.

IDERA Team Server 2016 Support
DBArtisan
can make use of datasource definitions stored on an IDERA Team Server 2016.
Generic JDBC/ODBC Connectivity
Generic JDBC/ODBC connectivity to
non-dedicated DBMS systems or non-database datasources is also provided. Rapid
SQL can connect to a datasource using a customer-provided, third-party JDBC
version 4.0 or ODBC version 3.0 driver. Minimal Rapid SQL functionality is provided,
including a basic Explorer tree and SQL querying.
IBM DB2 for
z/OS Stored Procedure Requirements
When working against an IBM DB2 for z/OS data source, Rapid SQL relies on
the following stored procedures, provided as an optional installation step in
setting up the DB2 subsystem:
·
DSNWZP
·
DSNUTILS
·
ADMIN_COMMAND_DSN
·
ADMIN_COMMAND_DB2
Prior to using Rapid SQL against an IBM DB2 for z/OS data source, ensure
that these components are installed on the server.
Specifically-Tested
JDBC/ODBC Connectivity Products: Apache Hive/Hadoop
Rapid SQL has been successfully
tested against Apache Hive/Hadoop datasources using the Hortonworks ODBC
driver. Similarly, Cloudera Impala datasources have been tested using the
Cloudera JDBC driver. In both cases, SQL querying and a Datasource Navigator
tree are available.
DBMS
Versions No Longer Supported
Rapid SQL is no longer being tested
against Sybase ASE versions before 15.7.
Release Notes
Team
Server 2016 Installation and Configuration
Team Server 2016 must be installed and configured
in order to get its Datasource and Credential Synchronization in Rapid
SQL.
You can find all the information for installing Team Server 2016
in Install
and Configure Team Server 2016.
Team Server URL must be also configured in Rapid SQL. For that,
add the Team Server URL in Tools > Options... > Team Server.
1.
Close Rapid SQL.
2.
Uninstall the older
MySQL ODBC client.
3.
Restart Rapid SQL and
try connecting to a MySQL datasource. You are prompted to install the MySQL
client drivers.
4.
Follow the installation
instructions to install the new driver.
o The Debugger windows (Variables, Watch, CallStack, Dependency) cannot be undocked. This behavior is
deliberate and is true only for the Debugger windows. The Output window can be
undocked.
o When running Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2000 SP4
is required on both the client and the server.
o When running the Debugger on SQL Server 2005
CLIENTS:
1.
Verify that the file ssdebugps.dll
is registered on the client machine. This file is REQUIRED for debugging and
Microsoft only installs it on the server machine and not as a part of a
client-only install.
2.
Follow the instructions
under the "Configure DCOM on the computer that is running Visual Studio.
NET" heading from Microsoft to reconfigure the DCOM settings on your
client machine: //support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/833977.
3.
On the Default
Properties tab of the My Computer dialog box, make sure the Default
Authentication Level is set to None and that the Default
Impersonation Level is set to Impersonate.
o When using the IDERA Sybase debugger against a
Sybase database with multiple temporary databases (supported in Sybase ASE
12.5.0.3 and above), either the user or the debugger application must be bound
to a specific temporary database.
§ To bind the IDERA Sybase Debugger:
sp_tempdb "bind" , "ap", "Sybase Debugger", "DB",
"<tempdb name>"
§ To bind the user:
sp_tempdb "bind", "lg",
"<login id>", "DB", "<tempdb name>"
