INF: SQL Server Compatibility with OS/2 LAN Manager

ID: Q62864

The information in this article applies to:


Following is a list of rules that apply to running SQL Server and OS/2 LAN Manager:
  1. OS/2 LAN Manager version 2.0 requires OS/2 version 1.21 or later, and OS/2 version 1.21 requires OS/2 LAN Manager version 2.0 or later.


  2. Named pipes were changed in OS/2 LAN Manager version 2.0, which required a corresponding change in SQL Server DB-Library (DB-Lib). The corrected DB-Lib is available in the Software/Data Library in ONLINE, or in SQL Server version 1.1.


The following is a summary of the information:

   OS/2 1.3   LM 2.1        SQL Server 4.2      y

   * Note: Will interoperate if "fixed" DB-Lib from ONLINE is used in
     the client applications. No changes are required to SQL Server.
