1 Overview
The following ODBC/MX client drivers enable ODBC applications running on various platforms,
to access a NonStop SQL/MX database:
•
Linux 32–bit and 64–bit drivers
•
HP-UX 64–bit driver
•
Windows 32–bit and 64–bit drivers for ANSI and Unicode applications
•
OSS 32–bit and 64–bit libraries
The HP-UX, Linux, OSS, Windows ANSI and Unicode ODBC/MX client drivers are collectively
referred as drivers. In this manual the HP-UX, Linux, and OSS drivers are collectively referred as
Unix drivers.
The drivers implement the ODBC 3.5 set of APIs. The ODBC client applications (applications) send
the requests to access data from an SQL/MX database through these drivers.

Architecture
The applications interact with the drivers to access an SQL/MX database.
The Unix drivers are thread-safe, and you can write multi-threaded C/C++ applications, which
use the POSIX thread library.
illustrates the architecture, which comprise client and server components.
