About this guide

This document describes the database driver that forms the interface between the Infor LN application server layer and the MSQL database server.

The database driver is referred to as the Infor Enterprise Server MSQL database driver. The information is Infor-release independent and can be used for Infor Baan IVc, Infor Baan 5.0 and LN

The term ‘Infor Enterprise Server’ comprises the tools and porting set. This document handles issues related to the porting set, where the MSQL database driver is a part of. Affected porting set versions are 8.7b and later versions.

For simplification, LN is used in this document and unless specified, the information applies to all supported MSQL versions. Any differences are stated.

For supported platforms and MSQL RDBMS versions, check the technical notes of the Infor Enterprise Server porting set.

When Infor Baan IVc is used, a minimum version of porting set 8.7b.01 is required.

Note: The used porting set must meet the platform support rules. For details on platform support, see the Infor Enterprise Server Platform Support Matrix. You can find this matrix through Infor Customer Portal KB 1183466.

Intended audience

This document is intended for anyone who wants to configure or customize the Infor Enterprise Server database driver for MSQL. To understand this document, knowledge of UNIX or Windows and MSQL, and an understanding of database technology, is required.
