Overview

SPSS products can access data from a variety of data file types, including databases.
SPSS products are distributed with technologies for accessing data from a database:
Merant DataDirect SequeLink and Merant DataDirect Connect ODBC, and
Merant DataDirect Connect JDBC.
This guide presents factors to consider when deciding which data access
technology to use with your SPSS product, and then provides an overview of
deploying a data access technology at your site. It is primarily for SPSS system
administrators who are installing an SPSS product for use in a networked computer
environment, and who need to provide end users access to databases on remote
servers.
The Merant technologies are:
SequeLink. A scalable, server-based middleware that offers high-performance
connectivity to remote relational databases. SequeLink consists of two components:
a single, thin, universal SequeLink client component and a SequeLink Server (a
common server DBMS interface). The universal client component provides direct,
point-to-point connections from client to server, completely eliminating the need for
proprietary database vendor transport middleware, such as Oracle SQL*NET, Oracle
Net8, Informix I-Connect, or Sybase Open Client.
Connect ODBC. A comprehensive set of individual, database-specific drivers that use
ODBC to deliver reliable connectivity to all major data stores, from relational
databases to flat-file data. Connect ODBC leverages your existing database vendor
transport middleware, such as Oracle SQL*NET, Oracle Net8, Informix I-Connect, or
Sybase Open Client.

4
Chapter 1

Connect JDBC. Connect JDBC supports the JDBC API. Connect JDBC drivers are Type
4 JDBC drivers that provide connectivity for the enterprise Java environment. If you
are a Java developer and want to access data from Java applets or applications, consider
using Connect JDBC.

Chapter

Choosing a
Data Access Technology

This chapter presents factors to consider when deciding which database technology to
use with your SPSS product.
Before you continue, consider if you need to deploy a database access technology
at your site. If you are installing an SPSS product for use in a networked computer
environment and you need to provide end users access to databases on remote servers,
the SPSS data access technology can make your job simpler. Many databases are
supported (see Table 4-1, Table 4-2, and Table 5-1). Note that these technologies are
closedthey can be used only with SPSS products. If you want to access databases
with other applications, you may require a more general solution.

Factors to Consider
Consider the following factors when choosing between SequeLink and
Connect ODBC:
! What type of database access does your SPSS product support?
! What type of database do you want to access?
! Is a system administrator or other database support person available?
! Has your site already invested in database vendor transport middleware?
! Where is the database running?

What type of database access does your SPSS product support? If your SPSS product
supports ODBC database access, you have a choice between SequeLink and Connect

6
Chapter 2

ODBC. If your SPSS product supports JDBC, you can use SequeLink or Connect
JDBC. Table 3-1 lists database access technology for SPSS products.
What type of database do you want to access? SequeLink is designed to retrieve data
from relational databases efficiently. If the database is not relational (for example,
Btrieve, dBASE, and Paradox) or your data are from an application that is not a
database (for example, Excel and Text), use Connect ODBC.
Is a system administrator or other database support person available? SequeLink has a
server component that must be installed, configured, and maintained by a system
administrator. If you do not have that type of support at your site, use Connect ODBC.
Has your site already invested in database vendor transport middleware? If your site
already has database middleware (for example, Oracle SQL*NET, Oracle Net8,
Informix I-Connect, or Sybase Open Client) deployed at your site, and you want to
continue to use it, use Connect ODBC. Connect ODBC uses your existing database
middleware.
Where is the database running? If your database is running on the same computer as the
SPSS product that is accessing and processing data, use Connect ODBC. If your
database is on a remote server, use SequeLink. SequeLink has an efficiency advantage
over Connect ODBC when the data have to be transported over a network.

Note: Connect JDBC is also available for Java developers who want to access data from
their applications.

Summary
In general it is best to use SequeLink when:
! Your data are stored in a relational database.
! You have a system or database administrator at your site.
! Your database resides on a remote server.
! You do not already have native database transport middleware.

Because SequeLink has a single, universal client and does not require database vendor
transport middleware, it is simpler to configure and administer than Connect ODBC.
In general it is best to use Connect ODBC when:
! Your data are stored in a non-relational (flat) database or in an application that is

not a database (for example, Excel).

7
Choosing a Data Ac cess Technology

! Your site already has native database transport middleware and you want to keep

using it.
! Your database resides on the same computer as the SPSS product that is accessing

and processing data.

Chapter

Deploying a
Data Access Technology

Once you decide which data access technology to deploy, you need to install and
configure the software. This chapter presents an overview of what gets installed and
configured, where, and by whom.
The administrator installs the SequeLink server on the database computer. The
SequeLink client must also be installed on the computer that is accessing the data
the computer where the SPSS server product is running.
Either the administrator or the end user can install the appropriate Connect ODBC
drivers. (Connect ODBC does not have a server component.) The drivers must be
installed on the computer that is accessing the datathe computer where the SPSS
server product is running, the end users desktop computer, or both.

ODBC Data Sources

Both Connect ODBC and SequeLink ODBC edition use an ODBC data source to
connect to the database. When you install Connect ODBC, you install one or more
ODBC drivers. When you install the SequeLink ODBC client, you install a
SequeLink ODBC driver. Before you can use an installed driver, you must create and
configure an ODBC data source for that driver.
An ODBC data source consists of two essential pieces of information: the ODBC
driver that will be used to access the data and the location of the database that you
want to access. The database can reside on any networked computer. The ODBC
driver and data source have to reside on the computer that is accessing and processing
the data. Depending on the type of SPSS application that you are using, that can be
either an end users desktop computer or a remote SPSS server.

9
Deploying a Data Ac cess Technology

Note: SequeLink has a JDBC client. This discussion does not apply to that client. For
more information about SequeLink JDBC editions, refer to the Merant documentation.
For instructions about how to install this documentation, see SequeLink
Documentation on p. 12.

Location of ODBC Data Sources for Desktop Products

If your SPSS product is a classic desktop application, where all data access and
processing occurs on the end users desktop computer, then the ODBC data source has
to be installed and configured on the end users desktop computer.

Location of ODBC Data Sources for Distributed Architecture Products

If your SPSS product uses distributed architecture, then the correct location for
ODBC data sources depends on how the product is being run. SPSS distributed
architecture products can be configured to access and process data on a remote SPSS
server (distributed analysis mode) or on the end users desktop computer (local
analysis mode).
! Working in distributed analysis mode. The ODBC data source has to be installed and

configured on the remote SPSS server. This data source is created using the ODBC
driver (Connect ODBC or SequeLink ODBC client) that the administrator installed
on the server.
! Working in local analysis mode. The ODBC data source has to be installed and

configured on the end users desktop computer. This data source is created by the
end user using the ODBC driver (Connect ODBC or SequeLink ODBC client)
installed on his desktop computer, or it is imported from sources created by the
administrator.
! Working in both modes. If end users need to access data from the database in both

modes, the ODBC data source has to be installed and configured on both the remote
SPSS server and the desktop computer.

Software
The SPSS product CD contains all of the software that you need to deploy your chosen
data access technology. See the SequeLink Server and SPSS Data Access Pack

17
Getting Started with SequeLink

Installing SequeLink Client

Installing the ODBC SequeLink client installs the following components:
! A network TCP/IP communication module
! A SequeLink ODBC driver

SequeLink clients are also available for UNIX. See the SPSS Data Access Pack UNIX
installation instructions in the documentation subdirectory on your product CD-ROM
for more information.

Connecting to Your Database

After you have installed the SequeLink Server and client, you need to connect the client
to the database. For SequeLink ODBC edition, you connect to your database and
access data using an ODBC data source.
A SequeLink ODBC data source, which you create with the Windows ODBC
Data Source Administrator, consists of an ODBC driver and a SequeLink data
source. The ODBC driver was installed with the client. You must create the SequeLink
data source. The SequeLink data source contains information about which database to
access and how to access it. See the SequeLink Getting Started guide in the SequeLink
documentation for information on planning and configuring data sources. Chapter 2 in
the SequeLink Administrators Guide has additional information about creating,
configuring, and exporting SequeLink data sources.For instructions about how to
install the SequeLink documentation, see SequeLink Documentation on p. 12.
Remember to create the SequeLink data source on the computer that is
accessing the data. Most of the time this will be the computer that is running the
SPSS products server.

18
Chapter 4

What End Users Need to Know

Users who are accessing data from their desktop computers need to know:
! Which SequeLink client to install.
! How, and from where, to import SequeLink data sources pre-configured by the

administrator.
Users who are working in distributed mode, where the data are being accessed by a
server, need to know:
! The names and descriptions of SequeLink ODBC data sources that the

administrator has configured on the remote SPSS server.

! How to log in to the database.

Chapter

Getting Started with

Connect ODBC

This chapter presents an overview of how to deploy Connect ODBC at your site. It
describes the basics of installing and configuring Connect ODBC on Windows.
Connect ODBC is a comprehensive set of individual, database-specific drivers that
use ODBC to deliver connectivity to all major data stores, from relational databases
to flat-file data. Your site must already have database middleware installed (for
example, Oracle SQL*NET, Oracle Net8, Informix I-Connect, or Sybase Open
Client).
Connect ODBC is one of the database access technologies available with this SPSS
product. Another is SequeLink. For information about choosing the appropriate
database access technology, see Chapter 2.

Who Should Install Connect ODBC

Administrators should install the Connect ODBC drivers if:
! You will configure an SPSS distributed architecture product to access and process

data on a remote SPSS server (distributed analysis mode) instead of the end users
desktop computer (local analysis mode)
and
! You want to use Connect ODBC to access databases.

19

20
Chapter 5

Your end users should install the Connect ODBC drivers if:
! They want to use Connect ODBC with an SPSS distributed analysis product to

access and process data on their desktop computers

or
! They want to use Connect ODBC with an SPSS desktop product.

Installation and Configuration

Installation and configuration of Connect ODBC consists of the following basic steps:
E Install Connect ODBC on the computer where you will create data sources.
E Create ODBC data sources using the Connect ODBC drivers that you installed.

Where you install the Connect ODBC and create the data sources depends on what type
of SPSS product you are installing and how it will be used. (See Chapter 3.)

Before You Install

! Decide which driver(s) you need. Drivers are database-specific. The available

drivers are listed in Table 5-1.

! Make sure that the computer meets the software requirements for the drivers you

plan to install. All required software must be 32-bit compliant. Software

requirements are listed in Table 5-1.

23
Getting Sta rted with Connect ODBC

Connecting to Your Database

Connect ODBC is a set of ODBC driverswhen you install it, you install drivers.
Before you can use an installed driver, you must create and configure an ODBC data
source for that driver.
An ODBC data source consists of two essential pieces of information: the ODBC
driver to be used to access the data, and the location of the database that you want
to access.
The data source must be created on the computer that will be accessing the data.
! Administrators who are setting up Connect ODBC drivers for distributed analysis

mode should, on the computer that is running the SPSS products server, create and
configure ODBC data sources for the drivers that are installed.
! End users who want to use Connect ODBC drivers for local analysis mode or for

desktop products should, on their local desktop computer, create and configure
ODBC data sources for the drivers that are installed.
Windows. Use the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator control panel to create
the data sources.
UNIX. An ODBC Data Source Administrator does not exist on UNIX. You create and
configure an ODBC data source by editing the odbc.ini file with a text editor. The
odbc.ini file is installed with the drivers. See the Configuring Drivers and Data
Sources section in the Installation on UNIX chapter of the Connect ODBC Installation
Instructions for detailed instructions. (The Connect ODBC Installation Instructions
can be accessed by opening /Merant/Books/ConnectODBC/books.pdf on your product
CD-ROM.)

What End Users Need to Know

For local analysis mode and SPSS desktop products, end users need to know:
! Which Connect ODBC drivers to install.
! How to configure ODBC data sources for the Connect ODBC drivers, including

database login information.

For distributed analysis mode, end users need to know the names and descriptions of
Connect ODBC data sources that the administrator has configured on the remote
SPSS server.
