Overview
4D for Oracle is a set of 4th Dimension external routines that allows a 4th Dimension database to communicate with an Oracle database. Using 4D for Oracle, your 4th Dimension database can display, manipulate, and modify data stored in an Oracle database.
With 4D for Oracle, 4th Dimension becomes a front-end to an Oracle database. This configuration allows you to do the following:
• Present a fully customized 4th Dimension interface, complete with custom menus and forms,
• Use the data storage and disk access capabilities of Oracle to create a powerful data management system,
• Create multiple 4th Dimension databases that access the same Oracle database.
Using OCI And Supporting SQL*Net
4D for Oracle uses Oracle Call Interfaces (OCI) to take full advantage of Oracle features. 4D for Oracle requires the OCI driver file provided by Oracle Corporation. This driver file works with Oracle as well as SQL*Net.
Cross platform Considerations
In order to provide a better compatibility between MacOS and Windows platforms, the mapping of CR (Carriage Return) and LF (Line Feed) characters has been modified as follows:
• Windows side:
| - Read from Oracle: CR is translated to LF and LF is translated to CR. | |
| - Write on Oracle: CR is translated to LF and LF is translated to CR. |
• MacOS side:
| - Read from Oracle: no change. | |
| - Write on Oracle: no change. |
