Database protocols
This section provides information on the VuGen database protocols, Oracle - 2 Tier and ODBC.
Database protocols overview
VuGen creates database Vuser scripts by recording all the activity between a client and a database server. The resulting script contains functions that describe the database activity.
Suppose that you have a database of customer information that is accessed by customer service personnel located throughout the country. You use database Vusers to emulate the database server servicing many requests for information.
A database Vuser can:
- Connect to the server
- Submit an SQL query
- Retrieve and process the information
- Disconnect from the server
Oracle - 2 Tier protocol
Oracle 2-Tier is a protocol handling communication with Oracle Database using a standard 2-tier client/server architecture.
For supported Oracle Database versions, see Supported Protocols.
Prerequisites for recording:
32-bit applications only | 32- and 64-bit applications |
---|---|

ODBC protocol
ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is a protocol providing a common interface for accessing databases.
For supported ODBC versions, see Supported Protocols.
Prerequisites for recording:
32-bit applications only | 32- and 64-bit applications |
---|---|
For recording 32- and 64-bit AUTs: |

Replay on Linux machines requires unixODBC v.2.3.1 or later.
