Customizing ODBC Extraction
 
Using the Odwdbex.ini file and customized queries
Using ODBC standard APIs
When the extraction is incomplete or does not correspond to your needs, you can customize the extraction with the Odwdbex.ini file. This configuration depends on the ODBC driver you are using.
You can customize the extraction in a number of different ways by using:
• ODBC standard APIs available for the main concepts (Table, Column, Key, Index, etc.)
• HOPEX queries delivered as a replacement for ODBC standard APIs
• customized queries.
By default, ODBC standard APIs are used for the main concepts and HOPEX queries for the other concepts. For some ODBC drivers, HOPEX queries are used for the main concepts as the result obtained by the ODBC standard is incomplete.
