db-drivers
The db-drivers command applies to both the DiffDog Server executable and DiffDog Command Line Client. The db-drivers command is typically useful when you need to perform database data comparisons. This command displays all ADO, ADO.NET, JDBC, and ODBC drivers detected on the local machine. The displayed driver information is INI-file friendly, in the sense that it is in the syntax required for creating database connections in the server or client .ini configuration files, see Setting up Data Sources.
The output of the command is grouped in the following sections:
•ADO.NET - Displays all detected .NET providers
•ADO - Displays all detected ADO providers
•JDBC - Displays all JDBC drivers detected automatically from the CLASSPATH environment variable.
•ODBC - Displays all detected ODBC data source names (DSNs). These are the same data sources that are displayed when you run the ODBC Data Source Administrator (Odbcad32.exe). Note that the 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is in the C:\Windows\SysWoW64 directory. The 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is in the C:\Windows\System32 directory.
•Built-in - Displays those database connection methods that have built-in support in DiffDog Server and do not require drivers.
Only drivers that correspond to the platform of DiffDog Server (64-bit or 32-bit) are listed. For example, if the currently installed Java Virtual Machine is 64-bit, the JDBC drivers will be detected only when the command is run by DiffDog Server 64-bit. The same is true for ODBC data source names (DSNs). |
Syntax
<executable> db-drivers [options] |
This command can also be called using the list-db-drivers alias. You can use db-drivers and list-db-drivers interchangeably.
Options
The options applicable to the db-drivers command are listed below.
--config, --c=VALUE
This option specifies the path to a client configuration file where the connection details to DiffDog Server are defined.
If you do not set the --c option, the DiffDog Command Line Client executable attempts to read the client configuration file from the same directory. If there is no configuration file in the same directory as the executable, the default values as described in the command line help and this documentation apply.
--extend-classpath=VALUE
Use this option to specify Java class paths in addition to any class paths that are already set in the CLASSPATH environment variable. The --extend-classpath option has the same usage and purpose as the extend-classpath parameter in the server or client configuration file.
