asked on

ODBC and back out list

Will the ODbC backout list work for fail over to a secondary server using Data Guard (as opposed to  RAC)

What versions of Oracle can ODBC work on

Thanks

what is a backout list ?

odbc is just a connection, by my knowledge

however, for an oracle connection
the listener settings for a connection can be set so as to failover to a different database
you can setup multiple addresses to choose to connect to
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/NETAG/advcfg.htm#NETAG329



versions of oracle ?
all of em
I also have no idea what a "backout" (or "blackout"?) list is.   And, I agree that an ODBC connection is just that: a connection to a database.  For connecting to Oracle databases with ODBC, you usually need an Oracle client of some kind, where the actual connection information to Oracle is configured, then an ODBC connection that points to your particular Oracle client configuration.

Geert G:

I know JDBC, not ODBC,  in the solution contained in the link I had one questions

The solution looked like JDBC.  Will that solution work in ODBC

The doc did not mention ODBC by name

Thanks
"Will that solution work in ODBC?"

We have no idea.  You haven't told us what "that solution" is, or given us any clue where we might find the doc you saw.
