DP4 SQL is available on these platforms:
The DP4 SQL product requires an operational DP4 system. If this is not already installed, refer to the appropriate DP4 installation guide for help on installing DP4 for your environment.
The DP4 SQL product is included on the DP4 CD-ROM. You can install it by running the DP4 install program and selecting to install the SQL package, which is called "SQL for Windows 95/NT" for Windows, and the obvious equivalent for the other operating systems. For Unix and Linux you need to copy the appropriate TAR file to your machine, and extract it, and then run ./dp4install as usual. In all cases you must install the SQL version appropriate to the version of DP4 you are using - it is not safe to use an earlier or later release of SQL then your general DP4 installation. Once installed you can start to use the SQL Interpreter and Filter on your DP4 databases immediately. There are no configuration steps.
You can install manually by copying the appropriate components from the tables below to a suitable directory. The directory where DP4 programs are installed is recommended.
The files required for the various platforms are as follows:
