I purchased an application that uses a Progress database. Where can I get an ODBC or JDBC driver to access the data?
If your database is version 9.1+ or above, you should be able to obtain it directly from your application partner. If you are extending access to non licensed users, those ODBC or JDBC users will need to be licensed to use the database. If your partner is unable to provide you with this access, please call the presales hotline at 781-280-4900, and we will work with you to get you the products that are needed.
