Databases

Database connectivity

Use databases to develop on-line product catalogs, shops, resource applications, as well as interactive web applications such as chats, polls and more. Roxen CMS delivers excellent database connectivity facilities:

  • Oracle (native for Linux and Solaris, ODBC for others)
  • MySQL (native)
  • Sybase (native)
  • IBM DB2 (ODBC)
  • Microsoft SQL Server (ODBC)
  • Microsoft Access (ODBC)
  • Informix (ODBC)
  • PostgreSQL (native)
  • Mimer (ODBC)
  • Adabas D (ODBC)
  • Others via ODBC
  • JDBC through Java Servlets or Java modules

The database support allows you to connect to multiple databases concurrently within the same application. Since the Roxen Database API is used, you can easily switch between database systems.
