We're Actian Corp. partner reseller and have a customer that use Ingres DBMS for years. Now, they want to integrate Genexus developer environment with data store on an Ingres database. I was researching about data stores support for Genexus but apparently Ingres is not supported. However, Ingres has many open ways to connect to it, (JDBC, ODBC, Rubi, PHP). What I need to know is if there is some way to configure Genexus to have a new datastore pointing to an Ingres database using JDBC, ODBC, or whatever connection type.

You are right, Ingres is not supported by GeneXus.

You can, however, setup a DataStore and change the connection settings to ODBC, JDBC or whatever you want, and provide the connection information to the Ingres database.

There is a problem with this solution: the SQL syntax generated by GeneXus is different, depending on the chosen DBMS. So you would have to choose the most Ingres-like DMBS from the supported ones, to make sure it generates the SQL sentences correctly.

  • I expect that Genexus had the ability to connect to "other" datastore (different from those that it support natively), and then one could programming manually instead generated programs. Is this possible? – Ocarles Jan 20 '16 at 18:39
  • You can program manually if you want, but then you'll be missing all the benefits too. – Marcos Crispino Jan 20 '16 at 19:04
