Working With Database Applications - Overview

Silk Performer offers enhanced database support, including enhanced support for Microsoft ODBC and Oracle Call Interface 8 (OCI8), the standard interface for accessing Oracle databases (versions 8 and 9).

Silk Performer database support includes the following APIs:
  • Oracle OCI 7.0

  • Oracle OCI 8.0
  • Microsoft ODBC
  • IBM DB2/CLI
For database applications, TrueLog Explorer offers the same script customization features that are available for Web-based applications, including:
  • User input-data customization
  • Verification functions
  • Customization of output-input correlations (comparable to session-handling customization in Web applications)
Note: TrueLog On Error Analysis for databases is not currently supported.

Before proceeding with this chapter, it is essential that you familiarize yourself with TrueLog Explorer basic functionality.
