Enterprise (Multi-Tier) edition. First the server components, the Request Broker and the database agent, which run where they can reach your database: choose their operating system, its version, your database version and a driver version.
Then the client components, which run where your applications do and can use another operating system: choose ODBC or JDBC, an operating system and its version.

ODBC Drivers for Linux
Fast, secure ODBC drivers for every ODBC application on Linux.
OpenLink Lite (Single-Tier) drivers install on the Linux machine itself and connect straight to your database, in 64-bit builds for several glibc levels and 32-bit builds for some databases. Start a 30-day trial for the database you use.
Choose your database#
Each trial opens a short chooser already set to Linux: pick the Linux build, your database version and the driver version, add your email address, and OpenLink’s license generator issues your 30-day trial license and installer.
Use it with your ODBC applications#
Applications on Linux reach databases through an ODBC driver registered with a driver manager. The same OpenLink driver serves your command-line tools, services and analytics applications.
Getting started
- Choose your database above and generate your trial license and installer.
- Install the driver and register a data source for your database with your ODBC driver manager.
- In your application, connect with the new data source name.
The UDA page describes the drivers for every other database, and the Enterprise (Multi-Tier) edition, which splits the driver into a client on the Linux and an agent beside the database.
Before you start#
Which Linux build do I choose?
Pick the build that matches your processor and the glibc version of your distribution. The trial chooser lists the builds available for each database.
What is the difference between Lite and Enterprise?
Lite (Single-Tier) installs the whole driver on the machine that runs your application. Enterprise (Multi-Tier) places an agent beside the database and a thin client on the machine that runs your application, which suits shared or protected databases.
Do I need an account?
The last step opens OpenLink’s license generator, where you log in or register to receive your trial license.
