Hi Jenny, I'm also an beginner, but lets see.
1) I do not know. I also installed unixODBC-2.0.5-1.i386.rpm, and now its working. I also configured the file /etc/odbc.ini (attached) according to the unixODBC docu . Maybe all this is not necessary? I will see when I install it on the next machine ;) And don't forget to add an entry in /etc/ld.so.conf (attached) 2) try the attached makefile. I had lots of problems with the demo progs. looks like the examples are not that good. Currently I'm working myself through the MSDN ODBC Documentation, but oh man, what a mess. But your Problem has propably something to do with nr. 1) 3) ??

Questions: 1. For ODBC, I downloaded sapdb-odbc-linux-i386-7.3.0.21.tgz from ftp.sapdb.com, Is this all I need? 2. After extracting the files, I can compile the sample code at ~sapdb/indep_prog/demo/FirstSteps/ODBC I changed the Makefile to link with libsqlod.a libsqlod.so only (no libsqlrte.a libpcr.a). I remember somebody in the mailing list said only libsqlod.* lib is required. But when I execute, I got a coredume when it calls SQLConnect(). 3. JDBC is based on ODBC, so I assume ODBC is more efficient that JDBC, is this correct? Any answer is highly appreciated!
