Re: Testing Linux Client

I do not have dbaccess as part of my Client SDK. I have dbaccess on the my server which I used to verify the server is running correctly. I need to verify that my Linux client has been set up correctly. I am unsure of how to do this.

Options: o Copy dbaccess or dbschema from the server if it is Linux and run it. o Get and compile Jonathan Leffler's dbaccess replacement sqlcmd and try that. o Get my utils2_ak package and compile and try my dbschema replacement myschema or listdb7 or any of the other utilities in that package. o Write a little 10 line ESQL/C program to connect to a database on the server and see what happens.
