Database Server Selection

Field

Description

Database Server Type

The type of database to use.  Iron Speed Designer supports these databases:

  • Microsoft SQL Server

  • Microsoft Access

  • MySQL

  • Oracle
Database Connectivity

Iron Speed Designer uses ADO.NET specific drivers for each database such as Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle.  By contrast, Iron Speed Designer does not use ODBC drivers to connect to databases.  ODBC drivers do not support additional database-specific features, such as database-specific field types, which Iron Speed Designer supports.
